Mine did not fully hit me until 4 years after exposure. The doctors guessed that until then my immune system was some how keeping it in check until I came down with stage 4 terminal normal pneumonia. (I was moving in the rain during the winter - stupid move - caught the winter flu and ignored it) Until that point, I would have boughs of aches and pains and light flu symptoms. When I did check in, my vl was over 18+ million (off charts) and wbc of 2(AIDS). It took a week in hospital to stabilize me then I went home.
It is almost 6 years later, my wbc is 385 and doctors say it will never get over 400 and been undetectable as long as I stay on my meds. I have found out I have a very aggressive strain. A nurse accidentally jabbed herself while I was in hospital. She seroconverted in 2 weeks with a collapsed immune system. So even at undetectable level the doctor's told me to be careful. -
