by 26th sat i will be completing 10 weeks. 3rd week test showed -ive for chlaymidia but now am showing symptoms of claymidia and planning to take test tomorrow. is there a possibility that a hiv test can show -ive in the 11 week and +ive in the 12week?  i am getting commited to a girl on 12th week and i want to avoid that if am HIV positive.  unfortunately i cannot tell it outside, so i want to test in 11th week.  will that be conclusive.
