No way, it can't turn otherwise. Your test result is conclusive.

thanks for answering so I can assume now that I will get a negative at 12. I was surprised the doctor at walk in wanted me to re test after I had a negative 4th gen at week 8 and 7. Its causing me considerable anxiety
can ARS symptoms happen at 13 weeks as bene having difficulty breathing and itchy skin.
As you were advised, your tests are conclusively negative for HIV; therefore any symptoms you are having cannot be ARS.  There isn't anything to add to this event since you tested conclusively negative for HIV.

Thank you as I was worried as the walk in doctor wanted to re do the test at 12 weeks as he said the window period does not close but I had a 4th gen duo at week 8 and 7. It was unprotected sex in january.
