I had a hiv p24 combo test twice. At either 24/25 days and 48/49 days. Both results are negative. I have mouth symptoms before the first tested. I am keep losing weight and cold sweat at night. Are the test reliable?

You are better off seeing a therapist because your anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue at this point. Your problem is not disease, it is irrational fear of disease. You don't have any medical training so it is unrealistic for you to have so much confidence in your ability to diagnose disease and zero confidence in the science that created the test. It is unlikely that you will accept the results of 2 more placebo tests when you are only believing in your own science fiction.
I do understand and appreciate for your reply. I admit it and I am so afraid of getting hiv. I will just go for the last test and move on no matter what. Thank you so much and happy new year.
Dear what is your risk unprotected 4th generation test are very sensitive surely its conclusive dont worry you have hiv phobia fear of disease you are negative dont freak out just keep yourself busy see a therapist may be he can help if you keep testing you are wasting your time and money hiv is very hard virus to catch the odds are like 1 in 1000 times when you have unprotected sex so...move on buddy i myself was in a same situation like you

people who are giving you answers has already clear your doubts

Be strong forget about this shtt and move on you are negative
I had a sex at the massage place with a girl and the condo was provided by the girl. She took the condon from outside of the room and the condom was already taking out from the pack. I am just not sure about the condom was damagedor not. I did use the condom for the entire time.
Thank you buddy.
Oral, anal or vaginal unprotected?
I did use condom for the entire time even oral sex. I just doubt the condom was damaged or not because she didn’t open the condom in front of me. She took the condom and opened it outside of the massage room. So when I see the condom there is no pack. I know is so stupid but it drive me crazy.
I reread your comment. You had zero risk because if a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and hangs in tatters. You don't have to inspect it because it is hard to take off when ripped. She supplied the condom to protect herself from her clients, so is likely negative anyway otherwise why would she waste her money on condoms?
You are totally right and make sense. When I did the std check for the only the Mycoplasma genitalium is positive and the doctor prescribed me the pills to kill the bacteria. Then I went for the std check gir the second time and all negative. Since I wear condom for the entire time I don’t know how did I catch Mycoplasma genitalium.
Condoms can only be made up of either latex, polyurethane, polyisoprene  and sheepskin / natural membrane condom.

Sheepskin doesn't protect from HIV. All the other ones surely does.

The cost of production for sheepskin condom is very high. Hence, the sales price is correspondingly high, most massage places can certainly not afford it.

So what are we left with here? - Latex, polyurethane, polyisoprene. Most commonly used condom material is latex.

Latex is latex there is no good or bad material in it.  That's why no condom companies advertise their products stating that they are better in strength or HIV protection than another competitive brand.  Their propaganda is flavours,  scent, sex appeal etc.  

So, you used a latex and it doesn't matter cheap or expensive, latex with it's molecular structure will save you, wouldn't let HIV transmission happen.

You didn't need to test,  you definitely did not need a PCR RNA, you totally wasted your money. HIV is not your problem.  For other STI related questions please take it to relevant forum.

it is abnormal to test repeatedly. duo is conclusive after 4 weeks so you need to accept it and move on. Many factors affect weight and your sweats could be from fear. Move on from Hiv and relaax to give them a chance to disappear.
