MelvinG droppin' knowledge.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that we would have previously known if we had any of those conditions. None of those things are a walk in the park. Then again I can't imagine porking with many of those conditions in the first place...

I've done a lot of reasearch about HIV antibodies, this situation about 3 or 6 months to be conclusive. Teak says it may take very rare up to 6 months for HIV antibodies if you have suppressed immune system, so I did a research of diseases that causes supressed immune system, just like Teak Said: Cancer, Steroids (any drugs), organ or bone transplant, I don't have none of those I thank God! so a 3 month HIV negative test is negative if you have a healthy immune system, he was right from the beginning omg, all my symptoms were due to the Flu not HIV, I had a few complications from the flu, sinus infection, ear infection and stress, anxiety, depression created more symptoms which drove me crazy, omg!!!!  LIFE is complicated, I learned a lesson from this experience.....Taking care of myself,  life is not about sex, its not worth 3 or 6 months worth of pain and suffering.

HIV/AIDS
Cancer
Leukemia
Lymphoma
Multiple myeloma
Primary Immune Deficiency disorders (such as Common Variable Immune Deficiency)
Humoral (antibody) immunity problems (such as agammaglobulinemia or lack of normal antibodies)

What else could cause a weakened immune system?
Immunosuppressive medications or other treatments such as:

High-dose oral or intravenous steroid therapy for 2 weeks or longer within the past month. (For example, with prednisone, =2mg/kg per day for 2 weeks or longer within the past month is considered immunosuppressive.)
Cancer chemotherapy agents within the past 3 months

Organ or bone marrow transplant
Medications that suppress the immune system, including steroids, some drugs for autoimmune disease, or drugs taken in association with an organ or bone marrow transplant (consult your health care provider)
