but...you had to be back on this site in order to see that...which means that you are not trusting your results and accepting the facts...FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE FACT IS THAT YOU HAVE A 7 MONTH NEGATIVE RESULT SAYING THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV.

nothing changes if nothing changes!!!

continue on this site and you will NEVER put this behind you.  do you want to listen and trust those that actually know what they are talking about...or do you want to listen to other worried wells?  have you ever heard the saying, "misery loves company?"

move on :)

I also found Dr Francino (still in Thebody) that says at 3-4months you can wooo-hoooo already! Maybe it;s a delicate situation. They are reputated docs and cannot argue with the guidelines . asked about it, he gives so many quotes of other docs, but does not state anything clear.
     Or course, it will forever be a QTND ( Q that never dies)

I am not allowed to talk about myself in here anymore :) ...
teak about confused700, i told him 6 months of his testing is conclusive.
then why Dr in "theboady" recommend 6 month testing in all of his answers??

3 months is conclusive. We can't help you accept your 11 month negative test result. You will not be allowed to continue spread false information. Move on. Yes you again have been reported to Medhelp.

we better trust our negative result and ignore symptoms , i also have tingling and jolting muscles after almost 1 year  with Neg result.
  life is nicer by believing our negative result ;) ...otherwise we have to keep testing for next 100 years
