Answer:

It was not long enough since she contracted the virus until it became evident in blood tests.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that the tests were performed correctly, it is possible that the concentration of the virus in Ami's blood was so low that it did not show reactivity in the blood tests. In fact, people who treat HIV with antiretrovirals often get negative test results due to the low concentration of the virus in the blood.

Because the human body is unable to eliminate the virus on its own, its concentration will increase as time passes, it will become evident in blood tests, and eventually it will become an immunodeficiency syndrome.
