Please help me!

This is about my brother who's been having sex with this girl. After a week, he began experiencing symptoms like me but he had to be hospitalized because of severe leg aches. He told me he used a condom but i think this is too much to be a coincidence. Same thing happened to me last year but my symptoms weren't that strong and i also used a condom as i've said in my previous posts. I still have these leg aches from time to time and they're also severe so i wonder if we're both okay? I don't know what to do, i performed an oraquick test and it came positive but i got re-tested and this time it came negative ( so it was a false positive in the end). please tell me my brother is not infected since i advised him myself to wear a condom!

Oh and get off online and stop searching for HIV info, causing yourself more harm over no risk encounters.

Talk to a Dr. Your question has nothing to do with a risk assestment. Anxiety of you has nothing to do with HIV.

If your brother had a risk then 3 months is when he can obtain a negative test.

I've just read an article about neuropathy. besides ARS pain which occurs only with the other symptoms, how long will it take for a positive person to develop this kind of condition> how many years to be exact?

Your brother by using a condom did not have a risk.
Leg pain has nothing to do with HIV, never has and never will.
