Does presence of Jaundice affects HIV Test??

If I got the HIV test done well after window period of 6 months and tested negative
but was suffering from jaundice throughout those six months(or at least my immunity system was very compromised for those 6 months)

What r the chances that my result is false negative??

Is it possible that b'coz of my weak immunity system the body hasn't developed any antibodies yet!!

PS--I posted this before but didnt got much answers!!

if you were tested after 180 days after exposure and tested negative to standard antibody (rapid tests or elisa) then you have no need to worry the current window period is 6 weeks 3months and 6 months but even with severe immuno compromised persons antibody develops in 3 months it is highly unlikely that someone may take more than 3 months and goes out to 6 months to sero convert so dont worry and move on with your life trust me if you have an anxity problem then you will not be satisfied with a 2 year antibody test as well cause our mind keeps on playing tricks on us
