Hiv Paranoia

I got tested for hiv. at 2 and 12 week since my first and last Sexual Experience. It was all negative. Should i still be worried if i have it?

Im experiencing cough and colds right now, Im at my 18th week now.

Is it true that Flu Vaccine affects the result of the test? i got the flu vaccine at 5th week.

Please answer. Thank you

No need to test at 6 Months as this window period is outdated.You have received a conclusive result already.

Your 12 week negative test result is final and conclusive and No, the flu Vaccine would not effect your test result.You are Hiv free.The cough and cold means nothing,everyone gets them.
