Immunosupressed conditions

I have been reading that testing is conclusive at 3 mnths unless immunosupressed.  What is meant by that?

Immuno-supressed would be classified persons who currently have their immune system compromised.
These persons would include:
(1) persons undergoing chemotherapy/radiation for treatment of cancer
(2) persons with HIV or late stages of AIDS. (persons w/AIDS have shown not to have anitbodies in the late stages of AIDS)
(3) persons who have been diagnosed with JRA (junior rheumatoid arthritis)
(4) sometimes persons who are taking steroids such as predisone.

This questioned was raised several months ago on the HIV forum.  MD HHH answered this questions thoroughly...but I cannot remember the link/thread per se.

Persons with jeopardized immune systems would definitely KNOW it.
These do not include persons who have the flu, cold, etc. (minor illnesses)
