HIV test result
Hi,
Just wanted to know if it is true that HIV can lay dormant for years before becoming active? And does it mean that at the time of HIV screening, the results may come back negative? I read it in the newspaper which confuse me.

What I mean that if a person is infected,would it take more than 1 year for a positive result? Is there such case?
