1 Boil after 3 month HIV 1/2 negative antibody- is it HIV

i was bitten 3 months ago by someone in a high risk category and i tested negative at 7 week and 13 weeks for HIV 1/2 (antibidy) and STD.  around the 16th week i developed 1 pimple under my armpit and a big boil around the rib cage region.  i read online that boils are common among people with HIV.  i dont have diabetes which was cited as another common cause.  Is there a risk that i contacted HIV

You never had an exposure and your test results prove it.

Thanks for your response teak, but i have read that if the human bite cuts through the skin and the biter has blood in her mouth it could be considered a blood- to blood transmission. i've never had a boil ever in my life and all of a sudden i have a big boil after 16 weeks. everywhere i read it says boils are common among people with auto immune or HIV infection.  is it possible that my 3 month negative test is not conclusive.

appreciate the work done here to calm down peoples nerves.  but i an really anxious given my exposure (albeit low risk), the occurence of the boil and the fact that this is commonly linked to HIV infection. what is your expert opinion

thanks teak and nickone7. assurances like this make all the difference. keep up the great work. althought i must admit that if Dr HHH or hook dropped in a single word that would seal my concern and any possible lingering doubt

You want one of the doctors to reply you'll need to pay and post your question in their forum.
