ppl with SEVERELY COMPROMISED immune systems can longer than 3 months.  this includes ppl on chemotherapy, taking anti-rejection drugs after organ transplant, and CHRONIC, LONG TERM drug users.

you didnt get hiv from the risk a year ago...your test in december proves this.

a test at 3 months post exposure is conclusive.
