I didn’t know what it was & looked it up so I’ll share:
Seroconversion is the time in which a person develops antibodies to any disease-causing microorganisms (called pathogens). Antibodies are the defensive proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize a pathogen and is specific to that pathogen and that pathogen alone.
When blood tests are able to detect these antibodies, a person is said to have seroconverted.
In the case of HIV, seroconversion means that a person has gone from being HIV-negative (having no HIV antibodies) to being HIV-positive (having HIV antibodies).
Seroconversion is confirmed by an HIV antibody test. It usually takes a few weeks for the body to produce enough antibodies for the test to confirm an HIV-positive diagnosis. Prior to this, the test may either be inconclusive or deliver a false-negative result. This period of uncertainty is known as the window period.
Once a person has seroconverted, he or she will always be HIV-positive for life. Even if the person is placed on HIV therapy and is able to achieve an undetectable viral load, the virus never fully disappears. “Undetectable” simply means that the amount of virus is the blood is so low that currently, available blood tests are unable to detect them.

So what is the gist of this story? That meth use speeds up or increases the likelyhood of seroconversion?
Once a person has seroconverted, he or she will always be HIV-positive for life.
