Can you have aids negative or positive?
Not exactly. "HIV positive" means that someone's test for HIV antibodies came back positive, i.e. that the antibodies are present and that the person has at least been exposed to, and is almost certainly infected with, the virus. AIDS, however, is a syndrome, or condition. There isn't a specific test for it, so the terms "positive" and "negative" have no real meaning. AIDS means that not only is the person infected, but the infection has progressed to the point that they are showing symptoms. You can be "HIV positive" (the test showed antibodies) or "HIV negative" (the test did not show antibodies), but not "AIDS positive" or "AIDS negative". Everyone with AIDS is (or should be, since HIV is the virus that causes AIDS) "HIV positive", but it's possible to be "HIV positive" for a considerable length of time before eventually developing AIDS.

Will weed show in an aids blood test?

The HIV test, sometimes incorrectly referred to as the AIDS test, is searching specifically for antibodies that would indicate the presence of HIV in the body. The HIV test cannot tell someone if they have AIDS. If someone tests positive on the HIV test, it's important to follow up with knowledgeable medical providers to find out what the result means to their overall health. And although there are a few conditions (liver disease, prior vaccinations, and lupus, among others) that may trigger a positive result other than HIV, using weed is not one of them. Weed, or marijuana, does contain a chemical called THC that can be detected by a blood test, but the HIV antibody test is not one of them.
