i meant to say this...
Last year I was sexually active, and i got myself tested after 6 weeks (after my last sexuall encounter).
so now I was thinking maybe 6 weeks was just not enough time.
You had an HIV test and it was negative. You aren't sexually active and you haven't had sex in 8 months. Then why on earth would you even think HIV. If it's a phobia, seek help from a mental health professional.
i seen 2 different doctors, their medicine was not helping, this is why i started online search for cough and ended up hearing about HIV.
I have HIV Phobia, did not want to suffer for another month or two or three.
lets hope results are in my favor, since I mentioned my last test last year was done 6 weeks after i was involved in a sexuall activity.
Thanks
You didn't need to have an HIV test what you needed, was to see a doctor for your cough.
thank you everyone for the information.
I've agreed with you guys, cough has nothing to do with HIV. currently my cough is down to 5 - 10%, day by day its going away.it seems it had something to do with my throat.
Somehow i was not able to kick out HIV thought out of my head, since my last test was last year and i was sexually active 6 months before my last HIV test.
I Always performed safe sex though (besides my gf).
So i took HIV test today,Lets see how it goes. i am kind of depressed a little bit.
Thanks again.
Dry caugh is not a sign of HIV, but it can be a sign of active TB, wich is often found in people with HIV.

So this is where the confussion may have started.
Regardless, if you are in the US, you can have a cheap TB skin test done. Or ask for a Quanti Feron Gold test which is more accurate (specific) that the TB skin test. The TB skin test is prone to give false positive for people that have been exposed to Mycobacteria Avium.
On the net you can always find someone that thinks the smallest thing is HIV. Its where all the crazy hypochondriacs hang out and dig up and post BS information.
You dont have HIV though so knock it off already. Its impossible to test negative a year ago, not be active sexually since then, and somehow have HIV. Its just not possible. Move on and forget about it or drag yourself down to the clinic and get tested although ti will be a complete waste of time and money.
and also on few sites why do they say "Dry cought" is a symphtom of HIV?
thanks guys. i posted a question about dry cough on a different form (not related to HIV). i did not even had HIV in my mind, some guy posted following "persistent dry cough is a sympthom of HIV", i swear i freaked out right away and could not sleep. then i though of a fourm dedicated to HIV. i am starting to calm down now:)
Not at all HIV related and you have a negative test a year ago and no risks since to boot.
No they have absolutly nothing to do with ars-hiv, dont even think about it
