chances of HIV -2 Infection and Detection

Hi

Can any one tell me - which Test will detect HIV-2 infection ?... becoz i had an sexual relation with West African Ggirl  17 months back..

Did test as follows

1. after 8 months did test in Private clinic - Dont know which Test the did .. but result Negative...
2. after 14 months did CMIA(4th generation) - Dont Know whether its duo/ combi /antibody test.. but Result  Value    was 0.14 - Non Re-active ...

3. After 15 month - exactly on 16 month - Did western Blot Test...

Got result Like this


HIV 1-gp 160(ENV) - negative
HIV 1-gp 120(ENV) negative
HIV 1-P 66 (POL) negative
HIV 1-P55(GAG) Negative
HIV 1-P -51(POL) negative
HIV 1-gp 41 ENV negative
HIV 1-p 39 GAG negtive
HIV 1 -p31 POL negative
HIV -P24 GAG negative
HIV 1 -P 17 GAG Negative

HIV - 2 Negative

Conclusion  HIV1&2 negative

Remarks..
* WB is HIV confirmatory test..
* Indicative for HIV2 result must be confirmed by HIV-2 specific Western Blot Test...


I really worry about HIV 2 infection ..Should i test further ? I am running out of my mind .. full of tension and stressed about HIV 2 infection ...

I do have white creamy stuff in lips in the morning whn i wake up .. getting white creamy layer in inside upper lips .. is it Thrush ?

got few black spots on scrotum n edge of Penis .. and few Floaters on eye - 1 on right eye and 2 on left eye ..
Plz help me .. shouild i test further

I think you might want to see a mental health professional. Not to be mean, but honey you have been tested way beyond the window perios (periods), you are in the clear as long as you have had no other exposure. HIV -2 is typically much more benign and less virulent than HIV-1 .  Most modern tests will always test for both. WB test is pretty accurate. I think for your own peace of mind get another antibody test for 1 &2, but they will certainly be negative.

it is important to remember that stress and anxiety can cause alot of bogus symptoms, I would recommend stop searching all the HIV sites. The only way to know is the test , go today and get a same day result, this worry will be off your shoulders by morning.

you are CONCLUSIVELY negative and do not need further testing.

accept your negative status and move on with your life.

you have been tested for hiv 1 & 2, with negative results.

if you are having health concerns, see your doctor.  its not hiv related.
a forum should never substitute the one on one care of a dr.

now move along...

If you haven't noticed how many times have you tested? All were negative, correct? Do you also know the symptoms you read of HIV are related to many other things? Your symptoms are obviously not HIV. See a doctor he may beable to refer you to a mental health professional stated above and help you with the things you are feeling.
