I read here on the fourum that you work with hiv so i wanted to ask your opinion regarding my exposure  RJ. Please tell me what you have noticed in regards to exposure/window period envolving possible co-infections-hep c in paticular if you could i'd greatly appreciate this.

Exposure-needle stick (by iv drug user-likley positive w/hiv & hep-c,ect)

-Tested hiv neg @ 30 day and again neg @  12 weeks.
Would you consider my test to be conclusive based on your experience or would think my status likley to change if i've experienced what i think may have been ARS?

you tested neg @ 12wks, get over it. There is nothing wrong with you, as far as HIV is concerned.

If you have chronic cough - definitely see a doctor.  Don't play games with your health and your life.

No offense Bournemistake but you really should have made a thread for this post.

I also was in a very bad car wreck and noticed my cough came after that. So its either the accident or HIV. I've been scared to go to the dr. since september when the cough started. It isn't a bad cough. I will go throughout the day an nothing, then when night comes I start to cough.

Okay man. So there is no evidence either way, for -or- against that suggest these thing interfere -or- cause seroconversio delays, got it. The last line was confusing -in the absence of hep-c - gave me the impresion that you meant otherwise.

HIV can cause just about anything, but fingering does not lead to HIV.  If you are "convinced" you have HIV, maybe some professional counseling could help you.
