"False" negatives, happen when the test is taken too early. If you waited 12 weeks or more and you got a line at the C but nothing at the T then you are HIV negative!
Are you on cancer treatment or on immune suppressant drugs due to organ transplant surgery. If your answer is no then you are negative!
