8 week test

how relaxed should one feel after having a neg result in 8weeks 3 days because i did and now i am still having all kinds of weird things happening here

[alienshadow]

then here we go then i have been researching and they say it can take 12 weeks or longer for antibodys to show up and any test before then that are neg are not conclusive because of this also i am having skin problems now never before in my life also swollen lymphnode beside chin on face confirmed by dr i have no infections in this area that he can see also they say hiv can cause many different kinds of skin problems not just a rash so tell me what you think here

[inadepression]

CDC says only 97% people produce antibodies in three months.  They do not say 3 months is conclusive. Do not forget to mention thi chris.

[alienshadow]

so i still could be positive and not know it yet even though i have tested negative up to this point

[inadepression]

No way.
But, CDC's statement is that.
You are negative, but I only say the statement.
A big question mark

[raj12345]

Relax dude. Ur almost up there to collect the negative result. Ur case is similar to mine. I know i used the condom but still puzzled what went wrong to cause the symptoms. Let god decide now and as far as i am confident  we will come out of this misery and never commit the mistake in our entire life.

[ImStupid]

What kind of skin issues are you having?  Do you think they could be stress related?

[alienshadow]

you sure scared me  i cant understand all these symptoms i am having now its been 67 days since my exposure i dont know what to do

[alienshadow]

excuse the spelling but follicullitis and red bumps all over my back and arms i was in the hospital for 3 days so i dont know if thats what this came from

[alienshadow]

this thursday will make 10 weeks for me

[inadepression]

Look. Very shortly, more than 300 doctors have never seen any single case that someone's status changed after 8 weeks. Can you imagine this. Doctor HHH wrote this statement.
Moreover, all governments except u.s.a excepts 3 months as 100% conclusive.
People are talking about the new window period: 6 weeks.
But ******* CDC does not accept this and makes us crazy!! That's it.

[ImStupid]

Why were you in the hospital?  I don't believe initial HIV (other than ARS rash) causes skin problems.  That comes in later stages.  What you describe doesn't sound like ARS rash.

[alienshadow]

i agree i hate to put my personal business out there but i went to the hospital for my anxiety and i stayed there for three days its i have let the worst outcome get control of my life and now my wife is going to leave me and take the kids i dont know what to do here even though i am negative so far this has taken over my life now you all have some of my history

[alienshadow]

i could be wrong but thats what i read on some dr site were you can ask quetions for free when reading others questions he wrote back and said hiv can cause any kind of skin problems

[inadepression]

you urgently need to go a psychiatrist.
I am serious. Your negative result won't change. I am sure.
Go out from this forum and save your life. Don't waste time in this kind of forums.
Everyone will say different thing.  You will be confused like me and others.
Be sure, your result won't change.
I passed similar periods, think that:
if you are negative at 12 weeks, then what will you lose..your wife, kids..
**** hiv, go to your family. you are negative.

[alienshadow]

hiv is not why my wife is leaving its she cant get over me cheating on her i cant blame her if the shoe was on the other foot how would i have taken it i have been getting help but its not working this has completly taken over my life for some reason maybe god is punishing me for what i have done i know that when shes gone i have notthing left to keep me going except for my kids

[alienshadow]

for your info i have spent time with her ive done it all but i cant spend time with her when shes at work so i come here for support and answers i hope that i will stay negative and that my life will move on and i hope that i will get pass this soon

[ImStupid]

I agree, seek counseling.  With an 8 week negative you are very close to being conclusive (some would say you already are).  Don't lose the rest of your life over this.  Get yourself together for your children.  If I were you I would stop googling and even visiting this site.  You need to get your mind away from this.  God Bless.  You seem like a nice person.  Stop freaking out.

[alienshadow]

thanks for your kind words here but this is the end for me thanks and goodbye

[alienshadow]

well im just saying that a dr has confirmed the swollen lymphs and he said this skin condition is not normal so i may be the first here to test positive after an 8 week test

[alienshadow]

i know man but theres one thing here that you dont see people saying and i dont want to either but here it goes you can contract hiv on a one time exposure and i think i have with all these symptoms i am having and and that my body is taking its time to show the antibodys to be detected thats just my luck

[alienshadow]

what do you mean

[alienshadow]

no because i have always been healthy and he said there was no need for further testing which he did an full std test and hiv with the 8 week result he cancelled my 3 month hiv test and i dont know why if all dr follow cdc recommendations

[alienshadow]

youve been great here for me since i have came to this forum goodluck on helping others my time has come to leave this site before the worst happens to me i cant let that happen THANKS CHRIS

[inadepression]

"The CDC DOES NOT RECOMMEND TESTING AFTER 3 MONTHS..."
Oh yeah?
Look at that:
"Ninety-seven percent of persons will develop antibodies in the first 3 months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV."
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testing/resources/qa/be_tested.htm#wait

you know the facts. I talked to CDC several times and they absolutely recommend testing after 3 months. if you do not believe I can send you chat logs. Ok?

chris: i asked that: what is this rare cases? they said, we did not classify.
then i asked : do healthy people seroconvert after 3 months.
two different CDC staff said me YES.

Now it is your turn. Show me the reference that says CDC does not recommend test after 3 months.

[ImStupid]

What was your esposure?  I forget.

[inadepression]

ok chris. would you please explain why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?
will my body say:  your partner was hiv positive, then let's produce antibodies after 3 months...
there has to be a standart deadline, ok. 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 6 months..this is not the case.
again i am asking: why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?

[inadepression]

chris, you do not understand me. i am asking you a simple question. if you do not know the answer do no blame yourself and do not get angry.
the simple question: why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?
i understand  late seroconversion in case of damaged immune system BUT how can a partner's situation affect my antibodies. Is it clear?

[alienshadow]

i didnt mean to start an arguement here all im saying is that an 8 week test mine was negative but the window period is what scares me what if my body shows antibodys then like i said i guess i would be the first on this forum to have a positive after an 8 week 3 day test but these symptoms i am having where confirmed by a dotor today that the skin breakouts are unusaual and the swollen lymphnode on the side of my chin

[alienshadow]

ok thats enough here this is not what i need to see people in the same boat as me arguing with each other about this hiv mess true none of us are doctors but we still have an opion and thats what the forum is for

[alienshadow]

thanks dude what the hell happened in here war war 5 man its got deep in here

[alienshadow]

i will take your advise  and try to move on but it is hard to do especially now that i have lost my family i just feel so alone and no one to talk to but you guys thats why i came back

[alienshadow]

thanks i will dude i finally got something that will calm the nerves of losing my family and i know she wont come back shes to hurt man i really messed up i will never cheat again

[alienshadow]

thanks man well i hated we got off the subject but i think my dec 4 th test will be negative also

[ExtremeStress]
