yes always some possibilities are ther after negative hiv test result that you have done. because it detect antibodies against hiv virus and it produce after some tims and nobody can say it definitly after how much time it takes. so in this window period hiv test may be negative. for confirmation you should go for p24 antigen or pcr test. it will clear all picture.
