hiv anxiety

[irina1976]

Hi. My exposure was unprotected vaginal sex. About 2 weeks prior this, my partener had a Biosure Hiv Test UK which came up negative. The thing is, after a day or so after intercourse he came down with a flu for about 3-4 days. Since then, I can't stop thinking that he actually experienced ars and  I'm wondering if now I'm not experiencing ars myself. I feel like I'm going crazy, spending nights reading on internet, and feeling really down. How reliable would be a Biosure Hiv Test at 4 weeks?

Why not trust it?

I don't know. I'm just really anxious and I'm not sure how reliable would be a hime to lab hiv test. Anyway, I had another home rapid antibody hiv test at 46 days which was neg. I plan to do another one at the 8 weeks mark. Do you rally think I can move on if the 8 weeks one is neg? Thx

I got this message for the laboratoire. Now I'm wondering if I can trust a home to lab hiv test.

Please read this. And yes duo test are conclusive 28 days beyond.

I'm still waiting for my duo test results. I just did an antibody rapid test. While I know it is not conclusive, would be a 28 days antibody test a good indicator for my duo test result? I can't wait for the duo test result.
Thanks again.

Thank you for your answers.
I just can't stop surfing the web. I took an antibody test which is approved in the UK. It turned out negative but I know I can't rely on this as I've done it at 23 days post exposure.

No

Could a mild sore throat for about two weeks and then muscle and joint pain be related to ars? For the last days I developed a pain in my foot ball when I walk and I've got a painful calf as well. In addition to the mild sore throat wich I have for more than 2 weeks now.

DUO test at 4 weeks is conclusive.
