CLASSIC SYMPTOMS, NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS
Good day-I had sex with a hooker from the streets (in Kenya) and after 2 months came down with a white hairy growth on my tongue wich is there till now-one night of joint pains, one night of diarehea- night sweats and lymph node swellings at week 10 .I have had over 50 antibody tests in just over a year -but still have a cotton appearence on my tongue.My dr has thrown every thing at it ...multivitamins, thrush drops- and failed dismally to subdue it. I am engaged to be married in 4 months time and im thinking of calling it off for the sake of the health and well being of my fiancee....as an Indian I figured i loose my viginity before marriage....stupid....Can somebody explain to me please why it is taking me over a year to test positive?
You have had more than enough testing and your conclusively negative.Who ever told you that some people will never have detectable antibodies doesn,t know what there talking about.The immune system will always produce antibodies when fighting the virus.Your letting your imagination get the better of you thinking that there is an undetectable strain.50 antibody tests in 1 year is obsurd . its time to get some help for your OCD.
I have had rumerous rapid blood tests up to over year but the timing is what is killing me -2 weeks after i come down with a cotton like surface on my tongue-after that a fever, and swollen lymph nodes four of them in my groin-im deadly worried that im a carrier-as i have been told that some people never detect but pass the virus on without knowing...how can I establish if im a carrier or not?, please help
Can I be 100% sure that i do not have the dreaded one ..even with the white hairy tongue-is there possibility of a medically unreconisable/undetectable strain of hiv?....i know ive buggered my self up..can I be sure I will not ruin someone else's life?......the symptoms came about after my enconter at 2 weeks (sorry not 2 months)..it could not be a coincidence....
