Read calmly Dr Sean.

Please review my symptoms and my tests.
Hello Dr, the reason I'm here is that it is difficult for me to believe my tests after I have had several symptoms strangers, and now my wife is having also.
I'll try to sum ​​it all up.
First, an accident of medium to high risk, with someone highly suggestive of  being infected.
5 days after developing symptoms strangers, which lasted for 6 weeks (nausea every morning, belly bloat, gas, intestinal malabsorption, dry mouth, mild anemia and mild dehydration) , I never had it, and the symptoms magically disappeared.
Tests - 2 weeks modular system roche agp24 /ab (0,35) negative - cut off (0,90)
5,5 weeks modular system roche agp24 / ab (0,15) negative - cut off (0,90) / bio-rad agp24 / ab (0,41) negative - cut off (1,0).
6 weeks modular system roche agp24 / ab (0,19) negative - cut off (0,90)
8,5 weeks modular system roche agp24 / ab (0,21) negative - cut off (0,90) Thank God.
5.5 weeks after the accident, I had an unprotected intercourse with my wife.
Now, eight weeks after that relationship, my wife is having some bruising(5-6) on legs without reason , is having a bit of night sweats, and a dry cough.
I'm desperate, these tests may have lost the infection? If the part of p24 was not sensitive, yet they could detect the infection? How can my wife and I, we're having these symptoms strangers? Dr here, some time ago, said I was safe, and now I am afraid he has wrong.
Sorry my English, I speak of Brazil. Hugs Sergio R.

Hello and good morning

Well, the evidence is that you do not have HIV. The tests you have done have established that. I can't tell you why you and your wife have experienced the same sorts of symptoms, but the avilable evidence is that this is not HIV.

You and your wife will need to visit a doctor and discuss the circumstances and background,

best wishes, Sean

I forgot to mention that I also had weight loss, even eating well, and hair loss, I think that was due to intestinal malabsorption.
