curious.....

i had a negative rapid finger prick test about 65 days after the exposure, and now its been about 4 months and im coming down with a sore throat, cough, headache and fever.  just wondering if its possible that this could be from hiv or not.  also during the test she said she was having a hard time getting enough blood, but later said my results were negative, is it possible she didnt get enough blood for it to show positive? thanks for your help.

i understand that, but you dont know if the test would say negative or not if it didnt have enough blood?

Sorry, Get your conclusive test now as it has been longer than 3 months now. Your test result is very very unlikely to change. Symptoms tell you nothing

Hope this helps!
