I guess 6 week results
Ok I took a HIV antibody test at 5 weeks and 4 days and I got it back Tuesday the nurse said it was normal. But she did say I tested positive for hsv 1 which is herpes type 1 but it's wield bc I haven't had a blister in my mouth but only these knots in my mouth from biting my jaw and lip. I've been doing research and if at 3 months results are negative and I still have joint pain that stays in one place, hurts for a little bit then goes to another joint and so on. Also with the chest pains its more like a stinging burning pain maybe heartburn but it's scaring me. I'm thinking if it isn't HIV it might be infectious arthritis possible its mono arthritis. Who knows its just a guess. But it's really scary.
Ok that's reassuring so what would cause joint pain and chest pain I described. It is really annoying. I don't want it to be anything but at 5 weeks the pain was there but it was real light now this week at 7 weeks ( which will be tomorrow) it feels like its getting worse. Also my glands have been swollen but the right one is tender. I don't think now I'm freaking out but I'm just scared it could be something.
You're searching way too much. Most of your symptoms are probably anxiety related,.
Your test result is unliklely to change, but retest at 3 months like you've been told.
The hsv1 + result is not a big deal...most people would test +.
