Possibly some confusion here, as I am not an authority on all aspects of hiv and testing. I am certain that the virus entering the body, and the period between this and it progressing to full blown aids may be entirely WITHOUT any symptoms whatsoever? Which is why testing is absolutely essential for anyone who has a good belief that they have been exposed to the virus. They test for the virus, not for symptoms. I think I can see where you're going. It's quite possible that one could contract the virus, unknowingly, and after 5 to 10 years without any medication to control it, they could then show the (severe) symptoms of aids? I am not aware of any evidence that the virus can lay dormant, evading 6 tests, certainly not over 11 months. But I am not a doctor or engaged in any sort of research, private or professional. I'd tend to think you are negative. The testing procedures are well-established and have to be reliable, given the possible consequences of a false result. And 6 false results is seriously stretching credibility.
