Seronegative Infection question . . .

Seronegative Infection question . . .

This is a general  knowledge  inquiry so if you cannot answer please do not  dismiss it's validity  .
     For the rare person who is a late  seroconverter is this  fact  mean that they will  have a greater propensity to be slow to progress also    ?
     Also,  will some  unconverted hiv infected  eventually seorconvert to antibody positive  at some point or stay a HIPS (Hiv-1 Infected PERSISTENTLY Seronegative ) ?  
    Finally  ,would they remain seronegative for viral loads also ,i.e., RNA or DNA PCRs  ?  What testing assay would be revealing  of infection ,bdna which is not PCR technology ,reverse transcription ,Pert  ?
Pray tell  share  . . .if you know

Theres no such thing as latent seroconversion unless your a chemotherapy patient,a transplant patient on meds or a chronic iv drug user.If not 3 months is the window period.Any person who is infected with hiv will eventually produce detectable antibodies.There is no such thing as a carrier of the virus with undetectiable antibodies.
