The additional quesitons are irrelevant; the testing have had proves you did not acquire HIV and that HIV did not explain your symptoms. All HIV tests on the market are always positive within 6 weeks and all labs, especially reputable ones like LabCorp, use the most modern assays.
It's time to start worrying about things that have a greater chance of harming you, like being hit by lightning (which literally is more likely than the chance you have HIV).

Well I had symptoms come on about 2 weeks after the incident. But, the chills and rash on my chest lasted for 8 weeks. I know the acute stage begins 2-4 weeks after an incident and the average length being 2 weeks. But can the length of symptoms that linger be 6 weeks? so can I be seroconverting for that long. I have a question about LabCorp? Do they use modern Elisa tests? Are Labsafe and Private MD labs reputable companies to have tests done?
I think the original poster is a "he" not a "she".....
for a "not very expensive" escort you sure made the experience expensive. The testing 4 days apart and the DNA test is almost comical. Move on and stay away from **** you can't deal with.
doesn't seroconversion illness come between 2-4 weeks, and only last up to 2 weeks? the reason why I ask is because she says that her symptoms lasted up to 6 weeks. Can systematic stage start as soon as 10 weeks?
sorry I got that confused, dr HHH how soon or how late can people start getting symptoms from hiv in the symptomatic stage?
2-4 weeks if they even have symtoms. I doubt symptoms come on later than 6 weeks.
Dr. H, he indicated he was with an African American woman, not a Mexican American woman.
I have also seen indications that African Americans have a higher rate, but more men, than women?
I don't know where you got the impression that CDC classifies Mexican Americans as being at particularly high risk for HIV. You misread or misinterpreted something.
What a waste of money, time and energy to have had all the tests you did. You probably didn't need testing at all except for peace of mind; if so, a single standard antibody test at 6 weeks or so would have been sufficient.
1) Your test results are 100% reliable. You don't have H IV. 2) Yes, but irrelevant. 3) No, or course not. 4) You have had multiple confirmatory tests already and do not need more testing.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
