17 weeks negative, however....

[fortuna26]

Good day Docs,

It has been 22 weeks since unprotected vaginal exposure. At weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16 I had an oral-quick finger test done. They all negative. However, at week 2, my doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and gave me antibiotics. Z pack. After that, I developed night sweats and shortness of breath. Ever since, these two symptoms have not gone away. Additionally, i have rashes that come and go. Chills, vision floaters, dry cough, legs and back pain. My arms and hands get numbed. Besides itchy rashes, and also get non-itchy rashes. Hot flashes come as well. I have been tested for all the STD's as well. Had  lyme, leukemia, thyroid, asthma, allergy test done. They had all came back negative.

I have read all over the place that much of the internet info is obsolete and that I should trust only an HIV test rather than any symptoms, but the lack of answers is making believe that HIV has, somehow, become impossible to be detected in my body. I understand that this might be some sort of anxious attack happening, but the twist is that my girlfriend has been experiencing shortness of breath and dry cough as well.

Have there been signs of a new form of STD uprising? Please advise.

Thank you,

You don't have an HIV concern, you've received a conclusive negative test result.
