can i be sure that its not hiv?
10 years ago i had a potential exposure im not sure. im experiencing every aids symptom except one thing. i actually gained a lot of weight around (20 kgs) after the symptoms worsened. i have sleep issues(probably central sleep apnea) i visited a neurologist got a eeg done he said i dont have aids related dementia. well i tested thrice negative . a pcr , westernblot and tridot 2 years back all were negative. however im gaining a lot of weight, and my sleeping problem is worsening. can i be sure its not aids? i know that tests are conclusive but still all my other symptoms say its aids . lets say my symptoms started 2 and a half years back , if it was aids i probably would have been bed ridden now, wont i? i have seen 8 doctors i think . idk what to do
Based on your testing, you do not have HIV.

I'll play along though, what was your exposure?
Might be anal penetration insertive but im really not sure what happened i was 12 at that time.
You would have known if you had anal penetration, so that didn't happen. You should have told the doctor about your fear so he could have saved you all this worry about aids, but at this point all you have to do is forget about hiv.
Besides you've tested conclusively negative so that is the second reason that you should forget about this and move on.
