chrons disease and hiv

do any of you that are regulars know the relationship between these two? will chrons affect hiv window? my supposed ulcer was clarified today as chrons disease. i am confident that the Dr.s would maintain their position, but I can not see anywhere whether this has been addressed in past forums.  as chrons is an autoimmune disorder...and it is VERY new to me...I just want to make sure it is not one of the things the doctors suggest could extend seroconverting.

thank you for all of your opinions.

Like you said 175 day negative result is more than conclusive, couple that with the fact that you wore a rubber and you clearly dont have to worry about HIV.

thank you.
my doctor is clearly an idiot...i had to go to a gastro specialist to get the real tests done and thats how they discovered chron's. just did not know if any of you that monitor this site regularly have ever heard anything about the two and their relationship. my antibody tests and naat at 175 days put me in the clear i imagine, but it would be helpful for more than myself i imagine.

If your doctor thought it was possible he would have let you know. Dont try to associate every ailment with HIV. Besides you never had a risk (condom protected sex) and you have multiple negative tests way out of the window up to 6 months. Get over it, you dont have HIV.
