you are CONCLUSIVELY NEGATIVE...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  if you are unable to accept this fact...seek out the help of a mental health professional to deal with your inability to do so.

MOVE ON!!!!!

There are no Types of  HIV that take 6 months or 2 years. There are no subtypes that are easier transmitted from another. What might happen if left untreated some progress quicker to AIDS than others. Your test is conclusive and you do not have HIV.
