The likelitime at which the seroconversion of HIV infected takes place is a vital event indicating the progression of the infection. The antigenic diversity of the invading antigens due to successive contacts increases and similarly the virulence also increases. The seroconversion occurs if either the total antigenic diversity crosses the threshold level or the total virulence crosses the threshold level. Using the shock model approach the expected time to seroconversion has been derived by several authors. In this paper it is assumed that the antigenic diversity threshold is a random variable which has a distribution that has the change of parameter this is called the SCBZ property. The expected time to seroconversion is obtained using this concept numerical illustrations are also provided.
