seroconverted
Became immunologically positive
Seroconverted is the past tense of seroconvert, a medical term for developing detectable antibodies in the blood.
This typically happens after infection or vaccination: She seroconverted within three weeks of exposure.
The term is common in HIV medicine, where seroconversion marks the transition from HIV-negative to HIV-positive status.
