HIV question/ Anxiety
My current mood : Anxious, scared and very sad !
The HIV forum deleted my last post, and recommend for me to come here. Very rude of them , but it is what it is.
I had a low risk exposure, I touched a alcohol swab that had blood on it. The alcohol swab went from the patient's bleeding finger to my hands within 30 seconds being applied to the patient's finger. I know this is a low risk situation, but this patient was end stage AIDS. Which I'm sure she had a high viral load.
I was tested at 6,8,13 & 24 weeks with a 4th Generation. Negative !
The first 3 months of the incident I would check my temperature very often, in the middle of the day it will range from 98.8 to 99.5. After my 13 week negative . I never checked again, I was happy and I pray this was enough evidence of being negative.
For infertility issues a doctor ran a lymphocyte panel on me looking for my NK cells(which where fine), but my CD8 was a little high . This send me into thinking again I had beed infected with HIV. The 24 week test was done and it was negative.
But here I'am still , very anxious and scare. Same low grade temperature or elevations (98.8-99.5). Thinking that this is late seroconversion ? Thinking I really have this ?
Every doctor I have visited continued to give me a HIV test. Not one of them has said "enough is enough".
What do I do? When is this nightmare going to stop ?
