Confused ?Scared about HIV
On feb 17 i had protected sex with csw here in India.The same day while returning home i had pins and needles starting in feet ,legs.it became severe at night with crawling bug sensations on my body and with chills.I had the feeling of pins and needles for 2 days .The next morning when i woke up i found myself very weak .muscle aches.Next day i had fever,light swollen lymph nodes,nausea for a while,gas problems,severe muscle aches,neck pain,shoulder pain.I found red spots on my skin as well as under the skin.I was very tensed and anxious then.I was lightheaded and had severe dizinessI recovered within a week but i had fatigue persisting for a week.I lost 5 kgs meanwhile.On March 14 th i tested for hiv 1/2 antibody immunochromatography.Both came non reactive.then again 7 weeks (49 days apprx) post exposure i did a hiv 1/2 duo test(vidas duo ultra) antigen/antibody. Both came non reactive. I had never seen this kind of viral fever in my life. Can I consider this test conclusive sir ? @Dr HHH
Most doctors would tell you yes, we adhere to the official guidelines of 3 months on this forum, for people who had a risk (which you didn't).
Yes it was diagnosed by the doctor......Can I consider my 7 week duo test conclusive no matter what symptoms i had?
How do you know you have swollen lymph nodes? Were they diagnosed by your doctor? Even IF you DO have swollen lymph nodes, there could be a million causes, from an everyday viral infection, like a cold, to allergies, anything.
It sounds like you have a history of OCD, if that's the case, you have to consider the possibility that most, if not all of your symptoms are anxiety related.

I m still confused...the doctor said OCD ...but i dont think swollen lymph nodes is OCD ....please help me.......i never suffered this kind of infection before
You did not need a test, you didn't have an HIV risk. Your symptoms are a result of something else, see your doctor, it may be shingles or something else.
You don't have an HIV concern.
