You have to trust your test. Your symptoms are not due to HIV. Symptoms when one get's them, They DO NOt come and go. You do not have HIV!

[sick9999]

Dear Teak/Lizzie,

I would firstly like to thank you for sparing your precious time and replying to all the worried people,I want like to tell you that i once again tested my self by tridot test at exactly 90 days which came back negative. So far i have taken following tests:

1 ELISA-3rd week
2 ECLIA 5th,7th,9th,11th and 12 weeks
3 Tridot test-13 weeks

but the symptoms i am experiencing which disturbs me like neck pain and shoulder pain which is there for more than 3 months now though the pain has reduced some what after i took some medications.Some dizziness is there.From past two days since i took the last test at 90 days i felt some itching behind my both ears and when i looked at mirror it was something like two-three small red dots appeared behind the ears.

That all as far as symptoms are concerned rt now.I just wanted to ask is neck pain,dizziness and red spots behind my ears are related to HIV? or it could be something else? So far i have taken 7 tests in past 13 weeks all NON REACTIVE.Whats your opinion about my condition.Kindly do let me know.Please take for one more time for answering.Waiting anxiously for your answer!!!

Current methods for the detection of HIV may not detect all infected individuals. An ARCHITECT HIV Ag/Ab Combo test result that is nonreactive does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Nonreactive results in this assay for individuals with prior exposure to HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 may be due to antigen and antibody levels below the limit of detection of this assay.


UK testing guidelines.
Post-test discussion

The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

Dear Vance,

Thanks a ton for the reply.Kindly take pain to answer one last question please considering my family,my wife on the riskier ends.I just wanted to ask that should i worry for the frequent tools and dizziness coz thats the only main cause of concern as of today as they are with me right 5-6 weeks now.Though i consulted a nerophysician and taking prescribed medicines for 6 weeks and i got some relieve as well as far as neck pain is concerned not totally gone though.My only question is why they are persistant and i am experiencing them for such a long time now. I have read some kind of PCR-RNA test are also there.Are they advantageous over ECLIA test?What do you suggest?I'll completing exactly 12 weeks tommorow.Thanks in advance..

Regards,

[Vance2335]

You have an 11 week test and that is not going to change, you have been told to move on. Your symptoms mean nothing. You have anxiety, seek a therapist.

Dear Luka,

Thanks for the comments but i am really afraid for my wife with whom i am already been intimated with her about six-seven times unprotected since i was moving on with my life untill i got these weird symptoms again.I never had fever though in the whole 82 days post last exposure.What should i do now?I love her very very much.I dont want to infect her.Should i abstain myself from sex and get further testing?The doctors on your forum ( Dr Sean/Dr Hansfeild) that p24+HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab test are conclusive even after28 days but this was my 5th test on 72nd day with the same test i thin\k its DUO test.What should i do pl reply.These series of testing will ever end?Do i need another testing or wife does need testing?How should i tell my wife to get tested thats too for HIV!!!! She will just drub me and divorce me st away

Regards,

[luka12345]

[sick9999]

Dear Lizz,

Once again i am back.With some problems.I always get some red elevated spots every now and then on my shoulder,thighs or arms but they are gone in half h hour time.I mean to say more of an on and off situation.The neck pain also still persists as well as dizziness.When i work in day time i often sweat profusely which is unusal here because its winter time.I also experience pain behind my neck area and one side ( mostly right side below jaw) but no swelling.I am very very terrified again.I also have running some loose motions not severe though.I took my last ECLIA test on 72nd day. Thats 10 week 2 days exactly.( (running 11th week ,the 11th week not completed as yet when i got my last test).Do above symptoms suggest that i am seroconverting or what? Or they can also be signs of stress or mental anxiety i am into right now.Kindly help me. Should i test once again.Tommorow will be my 82nd from last exposure.I am literally dying and terrified.Please do help me.What should i do?

Regards,
