Negative HIV test, but still with symptoms
So my possible exposure was on August 13th, and I feel like I have been experiencing on and off symptoms since about August 13th. I went and got a rapid HIV test at day 69 after exposure and it was negative, then I got another one at day 86 and it was still sober. I am still experienceing throat irritation, kind of white tounge, and gastrointestinal problems. I just need help trying to figure if these problems are from the anxiety, depression, and stress that I have been suffering for the past 3 months or if it is fron hiv or some other sit. Someone give me some insight please
All you can do really is keep going with finding out what exactly is wrong with you but as everyone else has also said it's not HIV.
Oh but you're not perfectly fine. You will come up with scenarios, aberrations and exceptions to the rule.....
"But I still have doubts" says it all...you will linger on and agonize about this, despite our reassurances.
All I can tell you is that you're negative!

Thanks I hope that im perfectly fine, but I still have doubts but this does make me feel better so thanks
Are You on chemo?...Cancer treatment?..have you recently undergone an organ transplant?
how likely is it that i fall into that group of people who don't start producing antibodies until after 3 months?
I have went to my doctor and the first time she gave me antibiotics for my throat which didnt do much, and then I went about my stomach problems and got an abdominal X-ray and everything was ok in there... so im just confused about everything. I'll going to go back to the doctor on Tuesday.
