Need help about HIV rapid Test-ICTC,SPOT TEST,IMMUNOFILTRATION
HI,
I am male, from India aged 28. I have been misused by the people in my childhood. At age of 10-24 I had multi hetero and multi homo sexual contact with unknown HIV status people at that age I was unaware of disease. Now I am married. After marriage on first month I encountered many problems fatigue from past 5 month all the time fatigue. Now I am becoming skinny weight loss. So I was doubting I have been infected with HIV and I did HIV various test in 2016-May till August:
Test: Result: Method: Lab: Conducted On:
1st HIV spot test : Negative : unknown : Small lab-not reputed : after 1 month of exposure
2nd HIV rapid Antibody test : Negative : Immunofiltration : Reputed Hospital. : after 2 month of exposure
3rd HIV rapid Antibody test ICTC : Negative : unknown : Reputed Hospital. : after 3 month of exposure.
So can I rely on the test assuming its correct because I was exposed long ago and I may now in Late stage or in AIDS. or should I need to go further ELISA or Western Blot tests.
So after having many sexual encounter.Its been more then 7 years of exposure do I have a HIV. I am not able to convince myself really frustrated and really its haunting me all the time cant work and cant sleep properly. I am becoming weaker daily. Test says negative but still I am facing problems. a reply would be appreciated and helping for me.
