Can I trust my result?

Tested negative two weeks ago using Oraquick. My last high risk exposure was October-December. I’m trying to trust my result but my symptoms still show and everyone around me is experiencing the same.. Am I losing my mind, or should I trust my 6 month plus negative result?

Your 6 month negative test is conclusive and thats the most important thing,which is not surprised because like most member here had mentioned your risk dint exists.
I understand your stresses for the past 2 months about hiv but you should really have a peace of mind now since you have tested conclusively for a risk which dint exists,

so now its time for you to accept the fact and move on with your life because you cant keep worrying about hiv and keep testing forever for a risk which dint exists.
Best wishes and stay safe.

Based on their analysis, i dont think it is much of a concern here. The thing is i dont think u will get hiv, so no need to test. That is what they meant. By the way, a test at 2 weeks in nowhere accurate.
Sorry if anyone of us seems rude, they have answered the same types of questions over and over again. And some are very nonsensical.
Goodluck and have a healthy life.

Sorry i read wrongly. Six month result is conclusive.
Thank you for the respectful response and no I get it, just hard when you don’t have no one to talk to and ask I get what they’re saying, and their frustration. Was just cooperating and trying to get my questions acrossed. I’ve been stressed for two months and blocking out a lot of my life. Thank you again for your time and all.

The help is already offered to you but you have ignored accepting it. It was told to you that you never had a risk, you turned blind to that piece of advice.

You even tested negative for a complete no risk scenario at 6 months, which is way outdatedly conclusive even for some one with real risk. You chose to ignore that.

You are only focusing on your symptoms which is result of your anxiety and fear, there has been thousands like yourself coming here complaining about all the symptoms that the book reads with out any risk, most had issues with guilt which they misunderstood as HIV infection. You are no different, I am sure you are greiving about some thing deep down inside.

Please see a therapist, to find out the cause of your anxiety, we are specific to HIV Prevention only and you don't have a concern that belongs here.

Lol y’all rude as ****. Lol I just wanted help damn. Maybe that is it? I apologize for speaking help.
I am sorry you felt like that. I failed to see where I was rude to you, I gave you the information you needed and I gave it to you the way it is. I can't tell you that you have HIV because you don't. My advice, to you still remains constant that you have to see a therapist as you certainly seem to suffer from paranoia, that needs to be treated.

You never had a risk, yet you had to go through this ordeal because of all the What-ifs, it's all in your head, see a therapist to get rid of this.

We wish you the best.

You had no risk for HIV because you used a condom. Continue using condoms every time and you'll never have to worry about HIV.

Also, stop posting questions on the three 12 year old threads that you visited today, because no one who posted back then is currently posting.
So should I test again or move on? I’m trying guys I really am. I’m a young adult and scared is all. Just like everyone else here, I appreciate you guys responding and helping.
Will do sorry
Why are you asking again about testing when I told you that you were never exposed to HIV because you used a condom? Do you always go around taking random blood tests for diseases that you never were exposed to? Sounds like you need to seek some therapy for irrational health phobia.
I obviously thought I had a high risk exposure due to my rash after the experience and my symptoms now why I went to get tested myself to find out, came here for advice and help.
I'm legitimately asking whether you actually do this because I'm honestly curious. If you knew how many times I've had people repeat the same question about testing to me after I told them they had no risk in the first place, I think you'd understand where I'm coming from. I'm honestly very curious why someone would keep asking.the question again and not one person has actually given me a legitimate reply to that question. So that's why I'm asking you.

Protected anal with TS, Unprotected oral.
Condom got stuck at end as I pulled out, and she grabbed it and said found it, didn’t mention anything about a hole but don’t know if it broke or not.
You were never at a risk to worry about HIV contraction. Condoms protect against HIV transmission and oral sex is not a risk.

Even for some one with a real risk, six month is conclusive.

Please see a therapist for your paranoia. You don't have HIV. OCD is suspected, a therapist will be able to help you from here.
What about my symptoms and my family?
Thank you for responding..
Obviously if you don't have a disease, you can't have symptoms of that disease. The first step to peace is to stop googling for death cold turkey and stop examining your body for symptoms. hiv docs can't diagnose from symptoms so you should stop wasting your time trying to do that.
No one here pays attention to symptoms because they are either in your imagination or relate to a different disease than the one that you self diagnosed from google.
If you chose to ignore my previous message, there is nothing else we could do here.

It was told clearly that you didn't posses a risk. If you had no risk, how can be your symptoms related to HIV?

Please see a therapist if you are confusing guilt for HIV. See a GP for your ailments. You dont have HIV.
