A member asked:
Is there any case/possibility where hiv antibodies doesn't develop at all for life time? i am negative after 11 months.will pcr dna detect hiv aft 1yr

Yes, if you have HIV: It is very very unlikely that you have HIV if the antibody test is negative 11 months after exposure. You could get HIV nucleic acid test for your peace of mind, if that is negative, you do not have HIV.
