duo test 4th generation test
Testing early proves nothing.
I Tested Negative At The Health Department Jan 26 I Asked For The Specific Test The Doctor Said It Was A Duo Test That Also Was A Rna Pcr Test... And That It Is Highly Likely That I Dont Have HIV But To Re Test After 12 Weeks... I Asked Would Test At 27 Days Instead Of 28 Day Matter She I Inforemed That It Wouldn't

You can test with a duo after 4 weeks from Dec 30 which is Jan 27.

Doctors can't diagnose HIV from symptoms so you and we will not be able to either. Continue working with them if you have an ear problem.

Try to relax until 28 because nothing is pointing towards you having HIV.

The first step to relaxing is stop googling for symptoms cold turkey, and the second step is to stop examining your body looking for ARS clues, because that won't work.
Because of the above, there is no useful info on Google so anything you find there will just make you more anxious.
I went and got the oral quick swab test and it was negative I set a appointment for friday at a clinic to do another hiv test I'm still going crazy because I just don't feel normal and it doesn't hell with googling things on the internet I tried to get the er to give me a tear but they would not
Don't test before 28 days, otherwise this test will also be a waste of time.
As I said before, Googling will only make you more anxious, and the choice is yours. Perhaps you should see your doctor for some Ativan to help you relax until the test results are available.
