HIV TEST INFECTS ME
Hello All,
I will be brief...
I tested negative for HIV via Oraquick Advance 1/2 Blood test on 06/10/2009. No exposures since then, none whatsoever.
Exposure 1... Fingered a stripper with index finger on 03/05/2010, all my clothes where on. Fingering lasted for 1 minute or less. Nothing else.
Exposure 2... Tested for HIV via Oraquick Advance 1/2 Blood Test on 03/15/2010. Result: Negative *10 Days after exposure 1. Tested at the only city clinic that offers rapid testing... Same guy 1 office room.
Exposure 3... Tested for HIV via Oraquick Advance 1/2 Blood Test on 04/07/2010. Result: Negative *33 Days after exposure 1.Tested at the only city clinic that offers rapid testing... Same guy 1 office room.
I tested again at a different place with Oraquick Oral fluid testing on 04/23/2010. Result: Negative *50 Days after exposure.
I then tried to test again at the city clinic with the guy in the office and he refused to test me saying he did not believe I had HIV and that I need to go to my doctor about any symptoms.
Two weeks after my exposure with the stripper I went to the doctor and have regular blood work done and it was perfect. I have symptoms like a sore\achy throat that comes and goes. Two rashes on my body one very scary looking and what I believe to be swollen Lymph nodes behind my ear. Below is a link to image shack with photos. Please take a look, let me know what you think. I am trying to move on but when I get stuff like sore throat and rashes plus bumps It makes me very nervous.
Could I have been infected by lancet needle? Could it have been reused? If it was not the fingering then what??? As you can see I have documented everything since I fingered the stripper since I never ever do things like this I panicked.

Anyone else care to evaluate what I have written? Teak is quick to dismiss people for what he calls "no risk situations" but where I live several 100 people were exposed or infected with HIV because the VA clinic was reusing diabetes lancets. The other day on CNhttp://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/HIV-TEST-INFECTS-ME/show/1279954#N some VA clinic exposed people to HIV by reusing dental instruments. So for you to dismiss that these things can happen is wrong. Someone who believes you goes home has sex with his wife, she breast feeds the baby now everyone is infected. If you can’t stand peoples questions then do not reply with condescending comments. It must be hard to hear people obsessing over and over again on the possibility of having HIV when you actually have the disease. I understand but I need help everyone tells me to quick testing but what if I am positive and don’t find out till I have AIDS... or my son and wife.
