Hiv test negative 8 months with architect analyzer and confirmed with western blot test. what are the chances it will turn positive?

Exposure: If you have not had sex or blood exposure since then, the risk is about zero. But if you have, then it depends on whether your partner(s) has HIV or not .

It's up to you: It will only turn positive if you do something else risky and contract HIV. The chance of you making antibodies only after 8 months is too low to estimate. Irene, get on with your life. It's a rough, cruel world and you're taking steps to learn to manage, as we all must. My hope is that you'll find real love, safety, security, and ultimately happiness.
