Brief Answer:
Remote chances of seroconversion after years....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Practically chances of seroconversion after years are very low. Such cases of late seroconversion are theoretical and you shouldn't be worried about those.

Tridot test is very useful screening test. However if you are very concerned about HIV, I will suggest you to try HIV ELISA or P24 duo test instead. If the results from these test are negative, you can allay all fears about HIV.

Hope this answered your question.
