Of course it's possible. Of course, HIV won't show up on a lab test until 6 to 12 months after infection. Sometimes even more.
Link?
However, that's just the average time. Every body is different. So while you may develop antibodies in a few weeks, there are people who may take months, or years.

No, unless you are hemophiliac most people who get the Monster sero convert(HIV antibodies in the blood) in 21 days after exposure. Can you provide a link where a HIV positive non hemophiliac will test negative 6 months to 12 months after exposure? Also, most people get flu like symptoms/rash within 24 hours up to a week after exposure.

Still, it won't appear if you have sex today and draw blood next week. Unless you get an antigen test (DNA PCR) which *could* detect it starting 17 hours after infection, but it's more accurate after two weeks. DNA test are very expensive.
NYC STD clinics centers(I suspect other cities as well) do free DNA PCR testing. They used to do it to everybody but because of budget cuts now they only do it if you specifically ask for it. It can detect the virus 48 hours after exposure. Its the same test they do to rape victims. As far as I am aware they don't ask you to get tested again after getting a negative result from DNA PCR. Fortunately, the days of worrying for months whether you got the monster after Anally rawdogging that club slut are behind us.
