My HIV status
Dear Doctors,
Please help me and guide me. I had an unprotected sex with my girl friend in Nov, 2005. At that time I didn’t thought about HIV and didn’t went for testing. And I even don’t remember now whether I got any primary acute symptoms. Later after two years I developed whole severe skin irritation, seborrheic dermatitis, arthralgia, myalgia and red-pus filled blisters on my trunk and my nails are detached from nail bed, where all these symptoms persist till today. This year I lost 10 pounds weight and had persistent diarrhoea. I am going into a new relation and have family, for the first time I went for antibody testing, In January 2014 my first HIV1/2 (ICMA) western blot was non-reactive, and I took HIV-1 RNA (Qualitative, detection limit 2000 copies) Non-reactive. And then in July, 2014, I took HIV1/2 rapid antibody test, which was non-reactive. And in August, 2014, I took 4th generation HIV screen with reflexes which was non-reactive. My absolute CD4 count was 690 and CD4% was 29. Please suggest me whether am I free from HIV. Can I proceed for making family? Is any further specific testing is required. I check for autoimmune disorders also, and all were negative. Why these symptoms. Please help me. If any specific testing is required please advise me.

Thank you all. Any expertise specialist please advise. Whether I can go for family.
You can trust your results, im pretty sure your doc told you that you Are 100% negative.
Hi Daniel thank you. But mine was after 9 years. So what is my status. As I read clinical latency and end stage of HIV no antibodies wont be detected.
