bitten

Some weird guy bit me in a fight, I dont know if his mouth was bleeding or not. I got sick later that week with swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I tested HIV negative six weeks later. Should I still be worried? My doctor says that I have nothing to worry about but I think about it every day. I can't concentrate in school. I have had anxiety problems, but i keep thinking its HIV. There is a small brown spot on one of my fingers, could that have anything to do with HIV?

I hit him in the face a few times and then he bit me. My spleen feels funny and some of my joints hurt. My life is over

if someone had a risk and needed to test...a 6 weeks test would be a good indication of one's status, but is by NO MEANS conclusive.

you were not at risk.

HOW IS THIS A NO RISK SITUATION? You answered everybody elses questions but you refuse to answer mine? Just because I wasn't involved in a sexual situation doesn't
mean I don't have it. Please tell me the validity of a 6 week test
