If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
I know that sometimes it takes years before an HIV+ person can show symptoms. And that it is possible to get a false negative test early after having contracted HIV. My questions is if somebody is showing symptoms early after possibly contracting HIV (within 3 months) and they test negative, what are the chances that they are actually positive? Is it possible to get a false negative while showing symptoms? Or if somebody is positive, and showing symptoms will they test positive?
