My hiv antibody overall result came out to be negative and i was asked to repeat the test after three month which i will be doing tomorrow what are my chances of being negative. and also your body developing antibodies means what ?

Antibodies are what your immune system develops in response to an infectious agent like a virus. These take several forms and act as your bodies defense against that germ. It can take 4-6 weeks or more for the immune system to develop measurable levels of antibodies after an exposure. What your chances are cannot be determined by the information posted.
