Hiv Testing and symptoms

[Sdiego92]

Hello, on feb 24th I performed oral sex on a guy of unknown status. Late march I had started experiencing ars symptoms such as severe sore throats with exudate, chills, fatigue, fever 99.5-99.8 for 3 wks, body and Muscles aches. I went in for a 4.5 rapid test that came back negative and i also did the Naat test. My dr said cause I'm a gay male I should continue testing and that was a exposure and my symptoms indicate ars.  2wks after those testing I went in for more testing cause I was still sick same symptoms, 5.5wk rapid test negative and the Naat test negative. My dr wants me to keep testing for hiv. I have lost my job to the anxiety and being sick. Any light that could be shedded on to me I would appreciate. Today I did a rapid test at 7.5 and it was negative. I'm so depressed from this. Please help.

You can't get HIV from oral, so you wasted your time testing.
It is natural to be depressed when you are sick, but self diagnosis is very low probability of being correct and your case obviously is a good example.
Sometimes flu drags on or you get a different strain so 2 flu seem like one, but if you really think you are sick see doc, because we can't diagnose you and you have no medical training. No HIV means if you are really sick then it is something else.
