I have been sick over 5 months now after a high risk ( anal sex top) swollen lymp nodes, low grade fevers, body aches, ear infection, headaches, and just feeling really sick. got test at every week up to 6 months and a PCR DNA at 40 days post all neg. I have also been very stress. went to my doctor and tested positive for EBV, but tested negative on monospot test. She informed that I had a re active of EBV never recall having mono anyway. My questions are
1. can a active EBV delay Hiv antibodies( I know if you have a depress inmmuine systems that it can does EBV fall into that category)
2. I have read online that EBV never flares back up unless you have encounter another sickness. is that true?
3. can hiv go this long without showing up with a DNA PCR
4. Do I need more testing doc past the 6mo like do I have to test at the 1 year mark?
Please help me doc and answer the following questions thanks

"I know my son got that gay disease."
That is from your other post. Being gay is not a disease. I hope to convince you with a simple question. When did you choose to become straight?
Now onto your question. Yup, you had a risk but you already did your tests. Most people here would say that a 3 month test is enough and it has become adapted as the maximum in many countries.
You should know that since you had your son tested and the doctor said "3 months".
