A member asked:
Would someone with aids test positive for hiv? or is it possible to test negative for hiv and already have aids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AIDS: There are case reports of seroconversion (going from a positive to negative test) while still having the disease. There is a rare disease known as idiopathic cd4+ t lymphocytopenia which may produce the syndrome of aids without testing positive for hiv. Aids is the late, severe stage of hiv.
