Hello,
Thank you very much for your post and apologies for the delyed reply.
The tests would be conclusive depending on the window period between the date of the test and the last possible exposure to any of these infections through unprotected intercourse with someone infected.  If the HIV test carried out was a serology ELISA test of 3rd generation, this is fully conclusive after 12 weeks; the Hepatitis B and Syphilis tests would be conslcuive after 4-6 weeks.  If she had a 4th generation Duo test, a 4 week window period would suffice for the test to be fully conclusive.
Best wishes,
Dr José
