Question

I thankfully received my 88 day negative antibody test. But I do have a slight concern. I took the flu shot the first week of december. Yet my throat last week for 2 days was sore and that went away then I am now having a stuffy nose with some cold chill . Im not sure if the flu shot works, but i just got worried that something in my blood may have developed (HIV) and has weakened my immune system possibly and is now reacting regardless of the shot. I do not mean to sound obsessive compulsive, yet I am concerned. please advise.
thank you.

See your doctor for your symptoms they have nothing to do with HIV. You're negative.

Sir, that wasnt my concern. My concern was that why am i developing these flu like symptoms even after I took the shot a month ago. Could I be a late ser conv? I am not under any chemo or drugs...
thank u

You have a conclusive test result. Flu vaccines will not effect the test.
