Is there a risk?

Please advise me worried about my HIV status if after almost 2 years exposure which was not major exposure, now I had Chest Xray and it was good and all CBC counts ok within limits (Lymp count 31%, neutrophils 65%) Liver (Alt 43 and AST ul) and total WBC is 6.1 or 6100. Since then I gained weight from 90 Kgs to 105 Kgs. Does this mean I am HIV negative? Please advise

Ok you are right. But shouldn't an HIV person experience some cases like Flu, diahrea or vomiting...

All of these tests (x-rays etc) are irrelevant in terms of determining if you have HIV. You need a test for seroconversion, which generally takes place within six to eight weeks of exposure, if at all..

You should just have a HIV test to be sure. Depending where you are located, they typically have free clinics throughout the US, where they can do a cheek swab and give you preliminary results almost immediately. Better safe than sorry - know your status and get tested. Best of luck.
