To Jag and Teak. Help

Hey jag.  You said that the doctor says if you have glossitis, then you can expect a positive result??? Is that true?  I have GT (confirmed by dentist).  Now I am scared to death!!!!

[Teak]

You are no more apt to have a positive test with glossitis as you would with thrush. You can not go by symptoms or rely on symptoms to diagnose HIV. The only way for you to know is by testing. Just because someone has glossitis does not mean they are HIV positive and the same goes with thrush.

Teak, I saw where you told someone that there 11 week test was not conclusive.  I tested at 82 days, as you know, and you have told me that is good enough.  Is it conclusive or not?  I am so scared and confused because my wife is now having strange symptoms too.  Please don't think I am arguing with you or anything, I just want to be clear on why 11 weeks is not conclusive, but 82 days is.

Arggh, read above response. Not at all what he or I meant. I'd be ****** too....and both of us woulda already tested positive, right

[Teak]

You were two days short of being 12 weeks (3 months) conclusive. You are conclusive. Like we said before if your wife is having symptoms see a doctor. It's unrelated to HIV. You are negative. Now if you can't get past this, seek help from a mental health professional.

I already did and the dumb sob told me that the CDC says to test out to six months.  That is one reason why I have went on this downward spiral.  If you remember, I was once right there with you giving people advice on how to stay safe.

Then get another mental health professional that know what they are talking about.

teak all I want to know is if you've had a friend who had gt within 7 days of exposure and not too many other real symptoms and was +...

[Teak]

I don't know any newly infected persons that have had thrush or gt period. I do know several including myself that had it years later with HIV infection. I was infected 21 years before I ever got thrush and that can't even be pinned on HIV due to taking antibiotics.

you just made it a little easier to get through the next 2 weeks. Thank you sir rapidrod.
