(2 weeks now) swollen glands in mr groin (1 week now). I also have dizzy spells and nausea on and off for about 2 weeks.
I went to the doctor who did a blood test and urine test which all came back clear. I got std tests and hiv test 7 weeks after sex which came back negative and a further hiv test after 10 weeks. This was great news, however I have been really anxious since this whole thing started and I am still very concerned - I worry myself sick every night - mainly because even though the tests are negative, I still have stomach pains, nausea and dizziness as well as swollen glands! I read that some people will not produce enough hiv antibodies for a test to identify - My main questions that I would really appreciate help with is -
How would I know if my immune system was so poor that my body wouldn't produce enough HIV antibodies to show on an ELISA test?
well, if you do not know if you immue system is poor....mean you are not......a 12 weeks test result will be conclusive for you.
I think your sypmtoms are not related to HIV, but more of stress........a 7 weeks result is a very enocuraging result. So don't worry so much.....I beleive your 12 weeks result will be the same as your 7th week result.
Thanks you both so much for your swift reply's it means a lot.
I have always been the sort of person that would catch a cold whenever it is flying about whilst my friends wouldn't, but I have never had any serious infection's - Does this mean my immune system should be fairly normal?
