Now, usually HIV tests are testing for antibodies, depending on the particular test it may take a few weeks up to 6 months for the antibodies to show up.

From what I know, having no detectable antibodies for 9-12 months is extremely rare.

But there are different kind of tests, including DNA tests and viroal load tests which can detect HIV much faster. I assume in porn, usually the 'better' (faster detecting) tests are used.

Anyway, good luck to your friend.
