weakened immune system?

Is it possible to seroconvert after 11 weeks? After an unprotected risk I have tested negative upto 8-9 weeks including 2 4th generation test At 4 week's and 8.5 weeks and a 3 rd generation at 8 weeks,now a. Past 11 weeks I have vaginal thrush and mild shingles! Could I be seroconverting only now? Or would my immune system be weakened by hiv that fast? Also is it possible I have had 4 false negative tests and will test positive at 3 month test?
getting these together is not a good sign

YES. Symptoms mean nothing. You are HIV negative.

Could Rapid blood test At 11.5 weeks be considered 100% conclusive? Along with. A 4th generation duo at 27 days, a 3 rd gneration at 7.5 weeks and a 4 th generation duo at 8.5 weeks despite ongoing symptoms?

If you had HIV-2, your tests would have picked it up.  A vast majority of people test positive from 4-6 weeks.  You are fine.

I have reason to worry about hiv2, but you say it's still about 99% that I don't have after tests at that time frames?

HIV 1 & 2 is a big story to explain here , anyway alisa tests will detect HIV 1 antigens and antibodies & the antibodies of HIV 2  based on that you can say it is not 100 % conclusive for HIV 2 but HIV 2 is mostly located in Africa and after 8.5 weeks i would say it is like 99 % conclusive .

dont worry about HIV 2 all the doctors here will tell you your tests are conclusive and worldwide it is agreed that the window period for 4th generation tests is 4 weeks .

4 th generation tests are conclusive after 4 weeks you had an extra one after 8.5 weeks you are negative for sure . it is not possible to have 4 false negative results especially you had them all after the required window period.
