Is a person less likely to have a false negative HIV test if they have the symptoms?

by prettybird2424, Sep 12, 2008 10:28PM
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?
