Because the FDA decided that the data submitted by the test manufacturers only supports an approval for a conclusive result at 3 months.

why does a person have to wait 3 months, in other words why is it the guide line, i mean is there a reason why someone wouldnt have enough antibodies to detect?

Yes, it's always good when you get a negative result. Expect another negative.
