Back, and still worried.

I just cant seem  to get closure. As some of you may know, i have been tested (only after 2 months) and tested with my girlfriend whos last exposure was just 2-3 days shy of 3 months. Both of us came back negative, but i still keep thinking Im at risk. One she never revieved written results like I did, she just got a phone call and a voicemail which i never heard. 2 - I had alot of symtoms, i know they are misleading but I had nightsweats headache diarhea, coated tongue, and now very bad back acne which I NEVER get. The Nightweats lasted about 1-2 months is this normal of acute HIV infection? Also my Girlfriend has been getting sick very often recently. 2-3 times every 2 months.
She refuses to get another test, she is satisfied with hers, would me getting tested again account for anything? Thanks for any help.

Its jsut the symptoms and my girfriends permiscuouse past that scares me the most. I know that she cant have anything from her first 8 partners even tho they were all unprotected because her test would cover these ones ( more than 3 months exposure) its just her last time, which she said was with a guy who only had sex with one person before this, is barely in the window period still. I know this is excessive, but i dont think its a pointless worry. It has some grounding.

No mono would not have affected her test result.

Hello bro, your name is Worryingwort you are so worried that it has interfered with your life. I think you should to get counseling for your concerns because you are driving yourself nuts. Get on with your life and test the following month. If that brings you closure. Your a good guy I wish you and your GF the best luck. I dont think you will need it etc. So relax,
Your ok

My last unprotected expore besides my girlfriend ( i do not worry about protected) was over a year ago. Her last exposure was slightly less than 3 months ago, sorry Lizzie i was WRONG at the time of this post, since then i sat her down and really drilled her for questions and she said it was about 80  or so days before her test. My last unproteced exposure to her tho, was the other night. She also claims that she has a compromized immune system due to Mono Infectionw hen she was younger that seems to come back every once in a while. WOuld this effect an anti-body test, as in she wouldnt seroconvert as quickly???

Thanks.

"I have a new girlfriend and we have been having sex for the past 3 months. At 2 months we both had an HIV and STD test. Both of our tests came back negative for everything including HIV but i am still concerned maybe one or both of us was still in the window period. Her last sexual partner before me (unprotected) was 3.5 months before her test, and my last unprotected encounter was very long ago. "

please reread this post from you back on march 06.  she has a conclusive negative and your last unprotected exposure was a "long time ago".

When was your last exposure? Not your girl friends, yours? You are the one that needs the 3 month testing. Don't worry about her results, you want to be conclusive about your results.
