HIV test and late seroconversion
Hello mates!
I am from Brazil and here our health authority has recently aproved by the latest national experts consensus a shorter window period for recent HIV tests(3rd and 4th generation ELISA as well as the rapid testes,not mentioning of course the other methods like NAT,PCR...)My concern is that I've had sexwith a girl I met at a party.Well,as I don´t know the girl at all I got really terrified with the possibility of catching HIV...we had sex twice on that night an both were protected,but the 2nd time on that night I did not ejaculeted because it was taking a bit too long and I decided to stop.I went to the toillet and there a took the condom off and with a very superficial look,could not find hole or samething...As a said,I did not ejaculated and then I thought it could be broken and just not noticed because there was not ejaculation to see any leeking.I know all of this can sound a little silly to most of you,but I'm going crazy with any possibility of catching HIV.I tested at day 16/26/40/43 and 60 with 4th generation ELISA,and all came back negative.During this 8 weeks I had severe throat infections and went under antibiotics for some weeks,then I started to read about the late seroconversion and now I'm going just crazy with it....I suffer from anxiety and depression and I am affraid of being on the late seroconversion,that I'm one of those suffering with immunodepression and for this reason delaying to positive my tests....
What do you think about the chances of me falling into this immunodepressed group and for consequence in the late seroconversion?
Please give me some advice....I'll go mad this way....pleeeeeease!!!!

You are the man!!
Final question if you don't mind....immune suppressed I know I'm not,but what about immunedepression?Can it then lead to late seroconvertion?
I know you said I was never at risk,but that I asked above is a doubt...
Thaks again!!!

If you were immune suppressed you wouldn't be on this forum and you would be spending most of your time in a hospital. No depression cannot lead to late seroconversion. You were never at risk.
Cheers Teak!
Can I ask you some information about the imunodepressed group?Can I know if I'm on this group without any test?Don't know,maybe only by checking symptoms like.or if I was immunodepressed I wolud know?
