Depends on test-: The HIV test is broken into two parts- the screen and the confirmatory western blot. When infected with HIV for the first time (primary HIV infection), flu -like symptoms can occur. During this period, the HIV screen may be negative since your body has had timer to make enough antibodies to be positive. If primary HIV infection is suspected, an HIV viral load can be done to diagnose this condition.
