Conclusive

Had unprotected sex with a woman whom I met at a bar about 180 days ago... Tested negative through various means with 2 elisa blood drawn tests at 11 and 14 weeks and rapid test out to 18 weeks and all negative. Is it unheard of for someone to test negative at such times and retest positive later on form same exposure. The only reason being is symptoms have peristed and will not go away despite neg tests!

Another thing I forgot to mention is I have been experiencing some rectal discharge and that is another reason why I know it is not in my head... I have never had these symptoms before and do not know if rectal discharge is a ars symtpoms or not.. I have never taking anything in that area and that's why I am scared

Thanks for the response, its just that the symptoms I am experiencing I know are not in my head.... The muscle twitching and muscle aches and pains are real as can be.. I have been experiencing this weird feeling in my nose as well.. I have been to several doctors and clinics and have tested neg multiple times out to 20 weeks but am afraid to take a 6 month test right now due to these ongoing symptoms. They are not normal and I was absolutely healthy until this one unprotected sexual encounter over 180 days ago. The stiffness in the back of neck and head are an everyday thing as well.. I am not trying to stay on here believe me my friend but it is hard to let go with these symptoms persisting

My friend, if you hare still worried about that situation after 180 days, then the problem is your mind. Try to calm yourself and accept your negative status, because never have i heard or read (and for that matter no even Dr. H, and a lot others) of someone who tested negative and after that many time turned positive, and it's because it doesn't happen. If you whould have been infected, it will have show very quickly (6-8 weeks).
So, live, and try to pass all that.

You are conclusively negative. Use condoms correctly and consistently and you'll stay that way.
