Scared out of my mind
Please please please can someone help me. Everyone tells me I am negative I have tested 3 time the last one was 7 months after risk. That was 3 years ago but is still have all symptoms of a positive individual. I have night seats, swollen glands in back of neck, b12 and folate deficiency, seborrheic dermatitis, numbness, headache, white blood cell in urine. I am seriously at my limit and can not go on. My dr keeps telling me it's anxiety but I can't belive that. Please will someone help me
That is a 4th generation test that also looks for a p24 antigen as well. When were the first two done?
I experienced strange symptoms as well, some that lasted 7 months. I'm 11months from my risk. During my first 4 months or so I spent hrs online that really just fueled my fear. 3~4 Hrs of sleep a night for over a month. We condition our thinking in a negative way. You must keep telling yourself you tested negative with the best generation test out there. You are not the rare, and I can't express enough, any rare exception. Retrain your mind on the positives of those facts. This may be enough to cure your ills. If not then you can confidently seek another direction with your Dr but know you ruled out hiv. What was your exposure?

How did you get past the anxiety, I seriously can not belive that with all the symptoms I have and have had that I am negative and this is all Dow to anxiety. I feel so alone and can not gud away out.
I can relate to your anxiety having gone through this window period and thinking I'll be an exception to the norm. Much info out there is dated and some not accurate. If you insist on not trusting your negative results, assuming they were AB only test then ask your Dr for a test that will look for the virus itself. Sounds like anxiety has to much control over you.
BTW, what test were done and what was your risk?
