7 week test

Hi,
I have posted on here beofre with my expouser risk and symptoms, but I just got tested at 7 weeks since my possible expouser and I was just wondering how conclusive that is. I got tested at 5 and 7 weeks and both came back negative. However, I continue to feel dizzy from time to time and have burning sensations in my wrists, as well as calve and shin pain, along with a sore throat. Like I said I am half way through my seventh week, so is this too late for ars to still be lasting? And do you think that my two negatives are unlikely to change when I go back at the 3 month mark? I am very worried and have been losing a lot of sleep over this. Thanks so much

with the sensitivity of today's tests...a 7 week test is very unlikely to change.

relax and test at 3 months for that conclusive result.

Thank you very much. So do my symptoms not seem like ars then? And also I was just wondering if you or anyone else knows why the test sites don't tell you about 6-8 weeks testing being unlikely to change. Because I have gone to two different test sites, and both say that the test is only to test anything 3 months or later, and they make it seem like there is no way it would be useful at all before then.

We don't speak on symptoms because they are general and non-specific. But i can say that symptoms do not come on at this stage in time.

Well my symptoms didn't come on this late, but they have lasted this long (half way through my 7th week) so is it still too late for them to be lasting if it was from hiv?
