Do I have HIV??

I hate to bug you about the same question, over and over and over again. I just need reassurance.

I am a anxiety ridden hypochondriac, like really bad. Me and my ex split up over last summer, when we were dating we were both clean. She then got a new boyfriend and came over my house a few months later (around mid october). We talked a little bit, one thing led to another and we had unprotected sex. She left and I didn't really talk to her since. Out of the blue, for no apparent reason (which makes me feel stupid) I started freaking out thinking I had a STD, better yet my hypochondriacness kicked in and I thought "DO I HAVE HIV?!?" So I went and got tested (saliva swab, 20 minute test). HIV negative YAY!!! The lady then told me the test could be false if I had sex with a possible infected partner within 30 days, I then told her it was about 3 moths ago and she then said "It could take up to a year" which that freaked me out even more!!

Now, I haven't been eating, hardly sleeping. I'm showing no symptoms still. Just freaking out. My mind is just playing games, and everyone is saying I'm being stupid and to get over it, i am fine. So, I call CDC and ask a "HIV specialist" a bunch of quesitons, they end up saying that a 3 month negative test is 97% conclusive and at 6 months is 100%. Well, cool I got tested at about 3 months (12 weeks) and was negative...here comes my brain again, ready?? 3...2...1..."WHAT IF I FALL INTO THE 3% OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE A FALSE TEST?!?!?"

GREAT, so now I go one final time to get tested for the entire panel of STD's, including HIV again. Still waiting for my STD results but did a rapid 20 minute blood test (where they pricked my finger). Test came out negative again. Then I talked to the lady who deals with nothing but HIV patients and HIV tests. She said she just got retrained and that a HIV window is now 30-45 days, and that if I were to be positive my results would have showed up by christmas latest. So, I leave thinking AWESOME, glad that is done. Now, here we go again. My brain is messin with me. "Why did she say 30-45 days, the lady at CDC said 3-6 months and the lady at planned parenthood said 3 months to a year?????"

So, here is my questions...

1. Am I HIV negative or what?!?
2. What type of people fall into that 3% of false testing?
3. Is the testing period really 30-45 days? (4-6 weeks?) or is it longer??
4. Should I really just move on, and stop worrying?
5. Should I go get retested in 3 more moths??


I just need a 100% honest response from a doctor to ease my mind and make me stop thinking about this. Hopefully you guys can help. No symptoms, 2 negative tests....no reason to believe I have HIV, just me freaking out. I am a 25 year old white male from southeast michigan. Grew up in a good neighborhood. Should I worry?!?

Thanks guys, once again sorry about the questions that I know you hear way to much.

You don't have HIV.

I see you teach about HiV/AIDS, but what makes you say I don't have it? Don't get me wrong, I like hearing that.  Just want to know why that was your response?
