Welcome to our Forum. I agree with the advice you already received on the Community site. Believe your test results.
The reason testing for HIV is so very important is that many of the signs of HIV infection are quite non-specific and can occur in situations other than HIV. In addition HIV is often asymptomatic for many years before person begins to experience HIV-related illness. For both of these reasons, testing is a critical element of evaluation for HIV. Fortunately the tests for HIV are extraordinarily goo an provide accurate information when a person is tested any time more than 8 weeks after exposure. In your case you were tested twice at times long after 8 weeks with negative results. Believe the results. You did not get HIV from your encounter with the CSW in September.
I hope my comments are helpful. Warts can be a nuisance an sometimes it takes persistence to control them. Keep working with your doctor but don't worry about HIV relate to your September exposure. EWH
Please stop this silly worrying. You do not have HIV. Your exposure was no risk and your tests prove that you did not get HIV.
That's all for this thread. EWH
Doctor, Iv been taking fluconzole 50mg for 1 week now and the thrush situation is the same. its really worrying me now. Have you ever known somebody to get a negative test at 4 months and then turn out to be positive? Its just with the thrush and the warts im worried something is now wrong with my immune system.
No, the thrush does not worry me. While persons who have had HIV for years can have increased risk for thrush, thrush also occurs regularly in people who do not not have HIV. In fact, only a very small proportion of the many persons who have thrush turn out to have HIV. Given the no risk nature of your exposure, there is no reason to worry qabout your thrush. EWH
Thank you doctor, Today i seen a doctor i havent seen before and she gave me a course of tablets for the oral thrush. I hoping this will sort it out. Thinking back i have always had trouble with fungal infections as i have fungal nail infection in my feet and athletes foot.
Does the oral thrush not alarm you? Do you think this is irrelavant considering i had protected sex and iv had the tests done?
Doctor can i say what you and the other doctors do on here is invaluable and i can thank you enough for the re assurance you have given me, anxiety about hiv has really taken over my life and i just want to get back to normal, so thank you
