Can Window Period Of HIV Get Extended Upto 2 Years?

I m a 28 year male. I had a possible HIV exposure 2 years ago. I have got tested six times so far. All came negative. But the index value is constantly increasing. I have all the symptoms assigned with hiv including oral thrush, muscle pain and pinched, and body rashes. My query is is it possible that window period gets extended upto 2 years?
