There are non-antibody tests that can be used in your situation (if indeed your situation is accurate).

It's not an HIV concern and it doesn't belong on this forum. This is an HIV Prevention Forum.

You can't look at your body and see that you have an enlarged spleen. If you had a problem with your spleen and it was causing trouble they would remove it. You don't need your spleen.

Because you don't have HIV that's why you didn't test positive. Now move on.

What is it?

Hypogammaglobulinemia is a disorder that is caused by a lack of B-lymphocytes and a resulting low level of immunglobulins (antibodies) in the blood. Immunoglobulins play a dual role in the immune response by recognizing foreign antigens and triggering a biological response that culminates in the elimination of the antigen. Antibody deficiency is associated with recurrent infections with specific types of bacteria. In pure B-cell disorders, cellular immunity generally is intact and the frequency of viral, fungal, and mycobacterial (e.g. tuberculosis) infections is not increased. There are 5 major types of immunoglobulins: immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin D (IgD), and immunoglobulin E (IgE).
Autoimmune disease - Rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, hemolytic anemia,
thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia
Malignancy – risk of certain malignancies is high
Growth retardation in those with early-onset recurrent infections
How is it diagnosed?

Some tests that indicate hypogammaglobulinemia include:
Low serum immunoglobulins and B lymphocytes
Missing specific antibodies to any vaccines the child has received
Absence of antibodies to A and B blood group antigens
