I'm new to this and need help regarding HIV test/ symptoms..
March 27, I had sex with an Asian sex worker. at massage parlor. I received oral sex with protection then we proceeded to anal sex where I don't remember if a condom was wore or not. Thats were my fear and anxiety lay at. Here are all the test I've taken.
( almost one month after exposure) April 23: negative in all std s. RNA test for HIV
Late June( 3 months after exposure): I developed flu like symptoms. All gone today except stuffed nose.
July 13 ( 3 months after exposure): negative in all std s. RNA test for HIV
August 31 ( 5 months after exposure): negative for all STDS. Negative for AB/AG test for HIV also.
October 9( 6 months after exposure): negative HIV oraquick home swab test.
As of today the symptoms I have are stretch marks on my upper shoulders and lower back although doctor says its cause I'm overweight ( 215 pounds 6'3 ft) but i'm not buying it.
Stuffed nose for 5 MONTHS. Doctor said its allergies but I have never ever had a stuffed nose for this long nor do i have any allergies that i know of.. which scares me..
Red mark on upper lip that I've had at least once every month. small and reddish then gets harden and fades away
And my last symptom is the back of my tongue is mildly white but gets worse after I get done eating something. I've tried brushing it off but not all of it goes off.. Based on my symptoms, does this sound like a late sero converter? Is it possible that the HIV test i took couldn't pick nothing up thats why I keep testing negative? ( doctor did say the first two test I took can detect HIV after 28 days post exposure) How reliable is a HIV oraquick home test after 6 months?? Please help me, my life has been hell cause of this exposre. I can't sleep, eat, or talk because HIV is all I have on my mind.. Please help me.
