HIV 2 window period

[johnfreedom]

I had an protected sex with csw 4.5 months back. After a week of exposure I got molluscum contagiosum at the end of penile shaft. From 45 days of exposure I am suffering with peripheral neuropathy. I don't have any other symptoms.

My 4th generation HIV Duo lab test at 76,93,125 days came back negative. My main concern is hiv 2.

(1) What is the window period of hiv 2?
(2) Can hiv 2 cause peripheral neuropathy after 45 days of exposure.
(3) Is my 125 days negative test 100% rule out hiv 2 also?

Thank you

Sir,
My fear starts when I got molluscum contagiosum at the end of penile shaft although I used a condom, which is an STI. Another thing is peripheral neuropathy, the sudden onset of neuropathy after exposure making me think like this, I can see everywhere when I search for neuropathy is HIV and there is no information regarding the window period of hiv 2.

You may take a minute to re read what I've written. Answer is still the accurate answer. Take care.

Thanks for the assurance.

hiv docs can't diagnose hiv from symptoms so you shouldn't be googling then trying to diagnose either. Especially since you didn't have a risk.

I am from India, I have visited a doctor here and he suggested me to retest after 6 months for hiv 2 as there is no official data regarding hiv 2.

Last response from me as this is getting redundant and the site has rules on that.  Window period is 4 weeks. You tested negative for hiv 1 and 2.  Take care.

Plus it is REALLY disappointing you skip the MOST important FACT. You had NO risk.  Any doctor telling you to keep testing is either uneducated or just trying to get you out of the office because you are being irrational.  This is irrational anxiety. NO RISK.

I have just replied to someone that I am not self diagnosed and I actually went to doctor and from ur first reply, actually there is no antigen part for hiv 2 in duo test. Anyway thanks for the replies and assurance.

You didn't have a risk but keep wasting your time imagining you did. The sw made you use a condom because they know that their clients can't give them hiv when they use a condom. She is likely negative anyway, since the condoms cost her money so why buy them if positive - she doesn't care about her clients, just herself.
Not sure why you keep coming here asking questions, then telling us that you disagree with the answer because YOU then claim to know the answers.
