hi 3 years ago i had exposure with prostiture with condom but i didnt see if the condom was ok afher sex.now 3 years later some anxiety hit me and i decided to test i tested negative for hiv on elisa duo test,and i was ok,but my concern is that i have hives and dandruff i read somwhere that this kind of things can make false hiv result can someone please ease my mind
No. You are fine. 3 months post exposure is conclusive. You are negative. No HIV. No AIDS. Breathe deep. Exhale. Pray. And move along :)
Sorry for this anxiety driven questions,but can i have hiv and dont test positive. i just read all kinds of hiv stuff on internet and is driven me insane,i know i am bothering but i don't have no one to talk to
i appreciate your comments but my ocd mind can't stop working, i will get mental help next week,while everyone's out partying hanging celebrating christmas, new year i wll be alone with my anxious thoughts,questioning everything,what scared me today was i read somewhere that some hiv test will be false if you have some other disorder like hives or dandruff or some autoimmune diseases
You are negative. No more further testing should be done. Your exposure was 3 years ago. And to get a conclusive result, you should be at least 3 MONTHS after exposure. Yours is waaaaay past 3 months. Take a deep breath. I myslef is suffering from anxiety disorder and my fear of hiv is givibg me panic attacks too. You tested negative. You're fine. Thats conclusive.
thank you my friend i suffer from ocd and depression,when i got the the negative result first thing on my mind was that i got hiv from the needle of the testing blood, iam relly in bad palce i have suicidal thoughts, i don't think i will accept this negative results sory for my english.i really appreciate you people answering me
thank you for replying but my test was 3 years after does that matter

NEVER GET TESTED AGAIN!!! I had same concern about my result and got tested three weeks ago. Guess what happened. I touched garbage bag where some bloody cottons and blood drops were and forgot it happened. Then I bought a sandwich from nearby market and ate it without washing my hands!!! I hope I didn't get infected I really wish so. I sent emails to many professors about this situation and they answered it's extremly unlikely. But three weeks ago I was definitly negative!! that's all happened because of my stupid anxiety.
You never had an exposure. If the condom had ruptured, you would've known for sure. And the things you describe don't change the results.
