Immune system responce

Dear Doctor,

I had a vaginal male-to-female exposure with ejaculation into me (condom break). I have known the person for 6 months,but never asked about his status. I started experiencing sympoms and wend for the 3rd generation elisa testing at 6 and 9 weeks post-exposure.The doctors said the test result would most likely not change at 12 weeks,but everything depends on the immune response,how quick it is.So my question is: is the person has no bad habits, is not a drug abuser and overall healthy,can he still get a delayed (after 9 weeks ) response?

Thank you in advance
