Hello,
Thank you for your post. First of all, I would like to stress to you that your sexual encounter did not really pose any HIV risk to you. I will try to answer each of your questions here below:
1. Could my month long headache and now sinus infection with one swollen gland be symptom of HIV /ARS? NO, NOT AT ALL. IT IS NOT A TYPICAL SYMPTOM, TIMING IS WRONG ALSO.
2. Could all my tests have missed infection? NO, IMPOSSIBLE. YOU ARE HIV NEGATIVE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT.
3. Do i need more tests? NO, YOU DON'T
4. Can i sleep with my wife and let this go? (I have not since march 2012)
THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. FROM THE POINT OF HIV, THERE IS NO RISK TO HER BECAUSE YOU ARE NEGATIVE.
Don't swollen lymph nodes associated with ARS appear in more then one location? YES, THEY DO.
5. **** With all my testing was ALL risks in my lifetime covered?
YES, THEY ARE. YOU ARE HIV NEGATIVE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT.
6. Bottom line would all risks long ago & most recently (March 1, 2012) be covered?
YES, THEY ARE ALL COVERED.
Best wishes,
Dr José
Last question;
Don't swollen lymph nodes associated with ARS appear in more then one location?
I forgot to mention the 2nd set of tests ordered by the ID Dr was done on Sept 26, 2012. If that matters.

After i posted i thought of the most important question;
5. **** With all my testing was ALL risks in my lifetime covered?

6. Bottom line would all risks long ago & most recently (March 1, 2012) be covered?
One quick followup.
Here is my exact test history. Does it change your opinion or would everything in my life be covered??? (most recently march 1, 12) and long ago as well?
Multiple antibody tests (but maybe I have immune condition)
HIV-1 RNA Quantitative PCR (Conducted May 4, 12)
HIV-1 RNA bDNA Quantitative <75 copies ml (Conducted September 26, 12)
HIV-2 PCR Qualitative DNA (Conducted September 26, 12)
My assessment remains the same. You are HIV negative without any doubt at all whatsoever.
Kind regards,
