Dear Dr. Jose,
1. Had at 10 weeks - Ora Sure Rapid Test = negavtive. Previous tests: at 2 weeks Home Access Blood Patch=neg; At 6 weeks Ora Sure Rapid Test = negavtive. 10 week test was slow in generating result. Could this
have affected the result ?
2. Should I have a 12th week test ?
3. Since I developed strep throat ( which seems to be getting better) I have developed sore and burning gums. Does this have any significance for HIV?
4. My major concern is that I have experienced since being exposed an accumulation of symptoms ( low grade temp., red rash on left wrist, sore throat and strep throat, sore and burning gums). All of these according to various articles on the Internet are early signs of HIV. I am just wondering with the accumulation of symptoms that I have
not sero converted despite the negative test results.
5. Given all of this, should I feel confident that further testing will be negative ? I assume that you have a record or recall of my previous questions dealing with the actual exposure and risks.
Thank you for your time, advice and understanding.
