[kazouz]

this condition is often seen and not allways indcating serious cases ..... visit your doctor and he will help to ease your anxiety very quickly ....

[zell_lin]

Symptoms are confused and difficult to use to diagnosed hiv.
What was your exposure?

[Nightmare37]

Condom break.. Done pcr came back negative@16 days... Now waiting for duo test results 37 days... Please I am worried about above symptom.. N lymphocytes count high..

[diver58]

You did the right thing. PCR at 16th day and Duo at 37th day.  Your PCR test is highly reassuring and I am sure that your Duo test will not be different from what you got already. Just ignore your symptoms, they do not mean much.

Hi diver58, zell_lin, Anxiousnomore thanks, I got today my test results came back non reactive with the value 0.253 is this good range.?is this result conclusive?pls help me.. But my docs were telling this result won't help me as they suggested earlier I must do on after 6 weeks then only connclusive it seems..
1)is pcr rna un detectable @ 16 days plus duo (4th generation) test non reactive @37 days conclusive
2)Else as my docs told like after 6 weeks only conclusive.. Else I have to again 12 weeks n 24 weeks to completely belive that I don't have hiv Pls answer this.        
3)my doc comments bothering me now 37 the day result won't help you I have to do confirmatory on 44th day means after 6 weeks.. Which is again re thinking about my symptoms please kindly reply for this
a) scalloped tongue with indentationd, white tongue with foamy saliva was there earlier now mild, n thick saliva on upper mouth,
Black gums line in mouth since yesterday onwards I observed yesterday, I can feel pea sized  lymph nodes under jaw, right side lymph node is slightly paining but not swollen, night sweats till now no fever(max 98 f), peeling of skin in fingertips n palms, tingling n burning sensation in palms fingers n toes(not now earlier), canker core which stayed two weeks not now... Please help with this symptoms r related to hiv especially black gums on mouth, high lymphocytes count.. B) how much % chances are there to turn out my status... C) else I can assume this result is conclusive, but my doc telling we have to follow standards after 6 weeks only conclusive,, but I have read 3 months only conclusive in online which one I have to belive.. I did big n worst mistake in my life jus for experience.. But now I am experiencing hell. Pls can you reply above all those...


Now I got non reactive will it be stable @ this point tested duo after pcr rna negative @16 days help me  to prove I will remain negative... Thanks in advance.

[diver58]

Your tests are conclusive, you do not have HIV, please move on with your life normally

[Nightmare37]

Yes thank you diver58... But in lab report comment section: non reactive does not rule out hiv infection. Since the levels of  hiv antibodies may not be detectable early stage of infection... What your thoughts on this?

[diver58]

This is written only to cover "false negative" results when the test is done earlier, that is within the window period

[Nightmare37]

So now we have done this test outside the window period(after 28 days) is my understanding correct? So we can trust n move along right

[RFGUSA]

Yes you understand correctly

[Nightmare37]

Thank you RFGUSA.. Any other std tests need to be done..

[Nightmare37]

Just one more doubt after 37 days duo test will  give conclusive result right, we can assume both hiv 1 and hiv 2 is not there else to create antibodies will take time for hiv2 if we infected with hiv2

[Nightmare37]

Because I am getting pain in lymph nodes but it not swollen

[Nightmare37]

Also heavy headache

[Nightmare37]

Sorry again I got confused from NeedAdviceFromYou comments, which is re thinking about my symptoms.. Is 37 days duo test conclusive or not... Else I will go again 44th day as my doc suggested... Though if I do any changes will be there ... Now I am thinking about, to create antibodies body will take time or what...please suggest

[traviscaw]

what was your final result?

[AnxiousNoMore]

traviscaw, your situation is straightforward and was explained on your other thread this week. Take a test.

[traviscaw]

ok, my test is on saturday. i just wanted to know how others turned out while waiting for saturday

[AnxiousNoMore]

I haven't seen anyone test positive on this forum, so if that helps then try to relax until Saturday, instead of hunting around here worrying. Best to avoid the internet until then.
It is good that you are testing.
