In the study of HIV infection one the important aspects is the process of seroconversion. The likely time to seroconversion depends upon the antigenic diversity of the antigen. Many mathematical models have been developed by several authors to determine the rate of antigenic diversity. In this paper the expected time to seroconversion is estimated taking the antigenic diversity threshold as comparing of three segments. Shock model and cumulative damage process is used for finding the expected time to seroconversion and its variance. Numerical illustration is also provided.
