Yes, it is possible to be HIV positive 20 years after exposure. HIV can remain dormant in the body for many years before symptoms appear or an individual is diagnosed. Some people may not exhibit symptoms for a long time, and without testing, they may be unaware of their status. Regular testing and medical check-ups are essential for early detection and management of the virus.
