late sero?

in march i met a girl on internet and had protected sex with her. she insisted on having sex without protection but i didnt agree. later when we had one  drink in the hotel room i fall asleep very quickly (so i suppose she put something) and woke up much later alone. when i tried to communicate with her her phone was disactivated such as her profile on the net. on may i received a mail that wrote: you have hiv you should have accepted unprotected sex and i poked you when you was sleeping.  i made immediately test hiv duo at 10 and 12 weeks negative. last test 20 weeks is elisa also negative. hepatits negative too.i had flu in april and since may i have teribble muscle pains night sweats and lymph nodes. my questions: is it possible to have symptoms and tests after so much time negative? i have asked and all are telling me that window is 6-8 weeks,12 weeks is conclusive and 6 months was years ago. i want to take when i go for elisa a pcr for hiv 1 and 2. how much it costs? thank you very much

when you tried to be safe and got an negative result at 20 weeks and on top of that you have been told that you did not need testing at all ,
And you asking price of the Hiv test here on prevention forum is not crazy right ????
Get some professional help and go to some testing center where they can tell you the price of the Hiv test's in detail ..!

i really appreciate your help. i'm sure that you have heard many crazy theories from people with stress and i wish that i will be one of these. but when i have read that mail i tried to imagine my life under this situation and ok i wasnt so desperate.but i need to put an end to that story. so i believe that a combined elisa with pcr for hiv 1 and 2 is the only way to rest. if someone has another opinion for testing i will be very glad to hear.

Some places it will cost you $199 for PCR by DNA ( Labcorp through online third party website in US and PCR by RNA upwards of $400. Which in reality you do not need both because you are negative. If symptoms bother you go to a good doctor it could be anything other then HIV or HEP.

How someone here is supposed to know about the price of test at your place but let me tell you PCR test is 6 times more expensive than an 4th gen Hiv test..!
Why are you asking such question's? it is a forum for your risk assessment/advice, clear your doubt , to get yourself educate etc.. here the forum does not have the price list of the test's..!

If you need to rest then rest do not worry over a thing which you don't have , educate yourself and stay safe.!

You don't need any more testing, youe negative result was conclusive.  You do not have HIV.  Put this behind you and forget about it.

Your result is conclusive.

Late sero-conversion may occur in people with damaged immune system such as  chemo, organ transplant, chronic (IV) drug users ,cancer

Testing window varies.According to CDC  US testing window is 3 months , Singapore it is 3 months , in some European countries it is 6 months.
