7 Weeks test negative but started having consistent fever

I tested negative on rapid test at over 7 weeks ( 7 weeks and 6 days). However doc told me that I need to wait for 12 weeks to confirm the results. I am having many symptoms of the disease including low grade fever (for last two weeks, chills and sweat in the night)

History of symptoms:-

First 5 Weeks:-

No Symptoms

Week 6 - Week 7

Nausea, Headache, occasional night sweating

Week 8 - Week 9 (today)

I am having a low grade fever with chills and sweat in the night. and I am really worried about being HIV positive.

Your test is unlikely to change. Antibody test are good as conclusive at 6-8 weeks. You can post your results here. But I doubt if it will change. Take care!
