There are NO medical conditions that delay seroconversion in people exposed to HIV. That includes "weak immune system", H pylori infection, or any other medical problem or medication you will ever think of. In fact, with the modern HIV tests (i.e. testing for both HIV antigen and antibody -- AgAb or "4th generation" tests" -- testing would be even more reliable in immune deficiency conditions.
