Can anyone shed light on this matter?

I have 1 flatmate who came 3 weeks ago on family visit visa. Yesterday she got her medical result and she told us that how come the result does not state that she is HIV positive when in fact she is. We were in shock to know that she is an HIV carrier. Can the medical test not show if a person has AIDS?

The Medical Commission here follows a very stringent method of testing newcomers into Qatar. If the person you mention indeed underwent such a test at the Medical Commission, the resuly would DEFINITELY show he or she is HIV positive, if the person is infected. The Medical Commission tests a foreign worker's blood for three diseases- HIV/ AIDS, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis. How can you be so sure that your room-mate is HIV positive or has AIDS without proper medical documentation and records?
