Your still struggling with yourself is a very good reason you shouldn't be trying to help someone else. Seek professional mental help to deal with your negative test results.

I don't believe I've gave out any wrong information. I could understand if I was hurting this community by false information, but I haven't given any. I am still struggling with myself and all these symptoms, but it doesn't mean I don't know the "CDC" guidelines on hiv testing. I never wanted to addendum you teak. Hope you are still feeling ok with havin to live with aids. My heart does go out to you man.

Bud move along you do not have any background in HIV. We've answered the same questions thousands of times and it didn't help you.

I can't help just like you guys can't but I'm at least nice with answers and just cut and dry then tell ppl to move on. I think it helps ppl with an answer a lil longer than " 3 months is when you can receive your conclusive result" and I know you deal with and have felt with a ton of ppl. That is awesome but don't lose the explanation or niceness that makes ppl want y'all's advice. I just started posting your right but I think I've read damn near all the responses since my exposure. I know you guys just stick to the CDC guidelines regardless and I'm sorry for askin my questions knowing the responses I was gunna get. I just figure it might help some getting  responses by someone goin through the same stuff.

I don't understand what I did wrong teak. I'm trying to help ppl that happen to search this forum like I did and find this case so they know they are negative and not alone. Lizzy said it was alright. :(

I think the same thing and heard the same thing as this person person and I've tested hiv1/2, all std, htlv1/2, and hepatitis c negative at 28 weeks. Still have every hiv symptom that started and showed up slowly and one at a time over the past months, but for any reading this that has been through or goin through what I am, know its not hiv related. We just need to keep on keepin on. :)

these symptoms appear because they start reading about hiv on the internet.  the mind is a powerful thing...and yes...it can make you have physical symptoms.
most ppl find that when they finally ACCEPT THEIR NEGATIVE STATUS...their symptoms go away.
click on the health pages in the upper right hand corner of this page.  read up on hiv anxiety and anxiety in general.  if you cannot let go of this...see the help of a mental health professional.

if you are having health concerns...see your doctor.   it's NOT hiv related.

according to the current testing guidelines...3 months is reliable and conclusive.

LOL 12-14 months?  A negative ELISA at 3 months is conclusive.  You can move on.
