Willl the result be negative? Anxious
I have had 100% protected vaginal sex with an ex CSW (she quit in November 2008) 8 times since January 1, 2009. I was tested for HIV at the end of March and that was negative. Since the beginning of Februrary I have experienced runny eyes, nose, ears, nasal congestion and light sweating (generalized) more or less 24 x 7. I believe that the risk was low, even with the multiple encounters (same person), but these symptoms are frightening me. I will have another test June 5th which is 6 weeks from last exposure. Does the fact that these symptoms were present even before my negative test mean anything? I am very worried about what the test result might be. Is this irrational? I would greatly appreciate the opinion of Lizzie Lou and/or Teak.

Understood. But is my statement in the previous posting correct? I appreciate your taking the time to respond. My anxiety stems from these symptoms. If they are already ruled out then I would feel less anxious.
The fact that I tested negative when I had these histamine-like symptoms (for a month before the last test) shows these symptoms can't be cause by HIV? Right?
