HIV exposure

[Mchuvana]

Hi, after 3 week of possible exposure  (unprotected vaginal sex) with the infected girl, I went to a doctor and blood were drawn and sent to the lab. The test were conducted on HIV P24 antigen which was negative and HIV 1+2 ELISA which was non-reactive. I didn't see any symptoms until 2 days towards the end of week 4, I started to have some fatigue and a loose stool and sometimes a bit of watery (watery stool not more than two days). The diarrhear took seven to nine days and it stoped (it wasn't that bad course I used to go to the toilet 2 or 3 times in a day) I also had a blocked nose but didn't cough, I've also lose some weight by 2  or 3 kg. On week 5 and 2 days some rash apeared on the left arm and it lasted for a day and disappeared. I must mention that I was stressed and also anxious while waiting for my lab results. Could this be a symptoms of HIV or anxiety, stress and pschological effects played a part. How long can a diarrhea coursed by stress and anxiety last, is it normal that it can last for more than three days?

A lot smaller chance now, as most people would have detectable antibodies, but still go ahead with the 12 weeks test, a 6 week neg is a good sign and hopefully you feel better leading up to your final test.

I'm from the clinic now I'm still negative on ELISA rapid (six weeks post exposure), I've requested them to draw blood and it was sent to the lab, the results will be back on the 24 December 2009. Do you guys think that this result could still change after six weeks. I've read somewhere that it takes 2 to 6 weeks for the antibody to be produced, is there any chances that this results can change to positive.

the majority of people test pos by 4-6 or 6-8 weeks, you might not be part of the majority club, thus everyone should always take a 12 wk test. Take a test at 7-8 weeks for a hell of a good sign your good, just do 12 wk test.

most of these experts says DUO test is 90% - 95% accurate, what do say about these.
