No, that’s not true. HIV tests always are positive within a few weeks and then remain positive for life. Your test results prove you do not have HIV.

You do not need to do any more tests for HIV unless you had a recent exposure. Visit this site for info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html
