But here is the kicker my wife on December 3, broke out in 104 fever I beleive in a Moday Considered the flu. Then I busted out a fever of 104 two days later we were both out of commision for that whole week. Now its late december and she says that intercourse hurt her and she bleed today for no reason at all. Also she lost like 5 pounds in a month. Can one person be experiencing the HIV flu and give it to the other at the same time. Why do I feel like very strong we have HIV and I gave it to her. Im in some serious trouble..Pleaae help with any advice..I believe my hiv test was 10 weeks so i might of gone to early...
Who is "we". This forum is for the communication of information relating to HIV. THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES WHICH STATE WHAT INFORMATION CAN BE SHARED OR WHERE INFORMATION CAN BE SOURCED. If you have any issues and want to apply rules as to where and what source information can come from, you should perhaps think about starting your own website.
We only go by the testing guidelines approved by the mfg., FDA, and stipulated by the CDC. There's no one that can change the approvals of any tests reliability except for the mfg of the test and the FDA.
We all know the guidelines in almost every country state 3 months to definitive conclusive results. HOWEVER, please read the expert doctor forums on this website which will give you an insight in what is known about the window period, including statistics, risk analysis, etc. Also, DO take on the information that the HIV specialists give you in terms of testing when you go for your tests.
It is unfortunate ,that some posts communicate only a proportion of the facts to the readers on this forum. It is also unfortunate that they sometimes contradict the views of the EXPERT DOCTORS on this forum. WE ALL ADVISE testing to 12 weeks, but that aside, there is additional information on the window period which is freely available on this website. Also, TEAK has kindly posted details above for the Adelaide sexual health clinic, feel free to contact their hotline and they will verify the information provided form the experts on this forum. Good luck to all.

Public Health - Seattle & King County offers HIV antibody testing and counseling to all people at risk for infection. All test results are confidential; anonymous testing is also available. HIV antibody testing is also available at a variety of other sites, and HIV home test kits are available in local pharmacies. For risk assessment and referral to testing sites, see resources for testing.
a.. A negative HIV antibody test result means that a person does not have detectable HIV antibodies at the time of the test. Since it can take up to 3 months after HIV infection for antibodies to develop, a negative test result is reliable only if the person has not had any sexual or needle-sharing risk behavior during the 3 months prior to testing. Some people with recent risk behavior will test HIV antibody negative, yet may have actually been infected during the previous 3 months; these people will also likely be highly infectious and may easily transmit HIV to their sex and needle-sharing partners. Finally, a negative test result does not mean that a person is safe from future HIV infection. People who test HIV antibody negative are urged to continue to follow HIV prevention guidelines to avoid becoming infected.

It may take 3 months for antibodies to develop after HIV first enters the body. Before 3 months, the test may give a negative result, even though HIV is present. This 3 month period is sometimes called the window period.
This means that if you want to know if you were infected from a particular incident, you should have a test at least 3 months later.

Its purely just your anxiety/emotional state. The chances that your partner in unprotected sex was infected (im assuming hetero vaginal) very slim. The chances that your 10 week negative was false, almost zero. The expert dr forums would state no more testing after 8 weeks for you, so just get the 12 week test, the odds are so greatly in your favour of another negative.
Painful sex and abnormal vaginal bleeding are often associated with a Chlamydia infection. Not HIV.
You did not wait the full 3 months to test for HIV so I suggest getting one now to be CONCLUSIVE.

Ok but what about>>For women, the most common symptoms of exposure to the HIV virus are frequent or severe vaginal infections, abnormal PAP smears, or pelvic infections (PID) that are difficult to treat. What if its that stuff! Im serious... Would that stuff cause her to bleed
