That's right.  If you're not on chemo or injecting drugs your all good man.  The smoking won't affect it.

I don't have any IDU or Chemo or Raido . Also my WBC is normal . I am only a smoking guy . Does that mean my immunity is not compromised ?

If you're negative at 9 weeks and your immune system isn't compromised (injection drug user - chemo - etc...) it means you don't have HIV.
