HIV Symptom

Hi I have been having soft stools that are not as bulky and seem to come apart. I have bowel movements once a day. Not diarrhea I don't believe. I had unprotected Sex with a woman about a year ago for about 30 seconds. I took two Oraquick at home tests 8 months out. Both were negative. Is my stool a sign of HIV or the diarrhea that they talk about only for ARS and not something that continues? Also is the diarrhea they talk about obviously diarrhea like watery etc. I thought I was over this but my bowel movements bother me. They aren't as bulky as they used to be.

So why does Oraquick say it can test false neg even after the window period??

False negative meaning the test is preformed during window period. Oral quick is also reliable. You can get tested at the lab which performed by specialist. Bottom line YOU HAVE NO HIV.

Well what if the tests were wrong? 1 out of 12 are considered to be false negatives. What if I missed the infection?

Symptoms means nothing, your 8 months result does.

We don't discuss symptoms. Your 8 months negative test is conclusive. You have no HIV
