Encouraging labs?
Vaginal blood contact with hand. No open wounds but maybe chapped skin? DNA PCR/AB 1/0/2 negative at 4 weeks. HIV1/HIV2 negative at 8 weeks. Will test at 12 weeks. Are these results encouraging?
First let me thank you for your dedication to this website. I guess I join the ranks of the "worried well". I know you can't diagnose HIV by symptoms but like so many others mine were spot on. I guess my off the chart stress levels lowered my immune system so much I caught some nasty bug which caused swollen nodes(can't wait for them to go away!). Headache/tummy trouble/weight loss could also be stress related. Thanks again for you time.
