Ok. I will pray for you. I think the HIV and Hepatitis should be Ok. I hope you can find out the root cause of the nerve pain. I hope your meds help.
take care.

Ok sis thank u for your wishes....I hope I recover soon....I will give u updates on regular basis :)....I too wanna rule out hiv or hepatitis but because of severe symptoms m unable to forget bout hiv....just pray for me sis

No not STD's. It sounds neurological or diabetic neuropathy. If you are not diabetic then neurologic. They need to find the root cause. I wouldn't worry about HIV any more. I hope the pain goes away with the nerve pills. At least you would get some relief. Neurology is out of my area. So I don't know much  about it.

Thank u for your advice and reply sis....I called one of the main infectious disease specialist in our city....I told him everything about my exposure and this unbearable painful symptoms and my testing history..he told me I can surely say that u don't have hiv neither hepatitis c..he told me if your immune system might be compromised than your rna test would have been surely positive....I don't know what to do sis:(..m really blanked and tired of this pain..according to u are there any other unknown disease which are spread sexually causing such a pain?doctor ova here gave me nerve tablets....I hope my pain goes away soon....cidp is strongly associated with hiv early infection that is what scaring and confusing me ....

So sorry you having been going through all this. Yes the 4th generation HIV test is supposed be very good and is supposed to be conclusive.  It may be a separate issue from the cidp. I don't really know much about cidp. Only that it is neurological.  Just because they asked if you had high risk sexual activity doesn't mean it caused the cidp. That can come on without the sexual activity. So I don't see the connection there. Is there some medication they can give you to help with this disease? I would probably get a second opinion from another neurologist when you can.
