Yes they can. HIV tests detect Your immune systems HIV anti-bodies and not the HIV itself. In the months after infection (around 6) Your body has not produced enough anti-bodies to be detected on a test. However the person is HIGHLY infectious during this window period. When the Immune system begins fighting back and producing high levels of anti-bodies,this will cause a postitve result on the test.
Yes. Signs of HIV infection are not by themselves proof of HIV infection. Other conditions like mononucleosis, viral hepatitis, other sexual transmitted infections, and viral hepatitis can cause symptoms that are similar to those experienced by people who are infected with HIV. In these cases the person tests negative for HIV because there is no HIV infection.
There is no such thing as being a "carrier" of HIV. If you are infected with HIV, you will test HIV positive within 90 days on infection.
No test is 100% accurate. It is called a false negative.
yes
If you've done something else since then that has exposed yourself to the disease - sure. But otherwise - no.
To be exposed to does not always mean that you will be infected. If contracting the disease you will still not test positive until some time afterwards.
Anyone can get HIV if exposed to the virus.
A HIV negative person can not be a carrier of HIV.
Relief happens if you are HIV negative.
Very unlikely, unless you have had other exposures to the HIV since you last tested.
HIV-positive means you are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV-negative means that you are not infected with the HIV.
If the Elisa was abnormal/inconclusive, the lab will do a Western blot. If that's positive for antibodies to HIV, it means you've been exposed. if the Western blot is negative, you're in the clear.
There are no reliable symptoms that point to HIV infection. An HIV test is considered conclusive if conducted 90 days after the most recent exposure.
No
No, AIDS can't occur if partners are hiv negative.
"HIV not detected" means the HIV test is negative.
