Good evening if a person is blood type o and hiv positive does this mean their blood results will came back negative because of their blood type?

No: The blood type is determined by some "markers" on the red blood cells. The HIV test looks for the virus or for antibodies created for your body to fight the virus . There are different kinds of test for HIV, some of them having more accuracy than others
