Should I Continue

Hello,

My exposure was unprotected vaginal sex with unknown female back in November 2012. I had sex with a female with unknown status, since then I have gotten yellow tongue, joint pains, weight loss, loss of sleep and literally the day after got a UTI and now still being treated for a prostate infection. Here is my testing schedule

11 days - PCR DNA TEST with Antibody and full STD testing = Negative
32 days - PCR DNA TEST with Antibody  = Negative
90 days - Clearview stat pack 1/2 finger prick = Negative
133 days - Clearview stat pack 1/2 finger prick = Negative

It’s been over 3 months with yellow tongue and I have taken nystatin twice with no luck of getting this resolved. I consider myself, before this situation, pretty healthy and now I feel like my health is deteriorating each day. Should I continue to test out to 6 months or do you think I am done?

Reread what you have been told. That question has been answered as we told you when a test is conclusive.

Has anyone ever seen a negative 5 month test turn positive later on? I'm sorry for the questioned but I promise this is my last one.

Seek a therapist to help you deal with anxiety. Nothing more we can tell you here, you have a negative test that is conclusive. 3% don't turn positive after 3 months, that is a myth.

I have taken nystatin twice and diflucan 3 pills and nothing. Now i am worried about the window period for the small 3% of people who turn positive after 3 months based on the CDC. I've started to lose more weight and if though i have a 5 month negative under my belt, i am starting to redoubt my test results.

Thrush can be cause by several things. Stress and anxiety,in diagnosed or not treated diabetes. You you actually not have thrush but rather just dry mouth with white coating-- but this is very different from thrush-- are you sure you have thrush have you been on antibiotics lately

If it was possible then the conclusive time would not be 3 months. You don't have HIV.

Last and final question - Is it possible to seroconvert 4-5 months after possible exposure? And if any of my symptoms were related to HIV would I have tested positive already? Thrush is still something i cannot get over and I've been working my my doctor but they can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

DNA are not approved tests for HIV screening or diagnosing. Your 90 day test was conclusive you don't have HIV. Whatever is going on with your tongue is not HIV related.

It is not possible to have HIV with all of the negative tests that you have done. Believe in your test results. You do not have HIV and you do not need to test any more.
