i beg please please advise, i'm so sad

dear all,
i have 2 of negative rapid blood tests which took
after 16 months different by 1 week between each test. I'm living in poor country so my rapid trst were took by low generations abott determine hiv 1/2.
1. How accurate are the result? I saw someone here said "3 month test is always conclusive unless you have a weak immune system due to chemyo, anti-organ rejection medication or chroic IV drug user.". What do they mean by iv drug user? (sorry my english)
2 months before i test, i got injected vitamin b5 and biotine almost 2 months.

So, did it also count as iv drug use that mke false negative? What are my chace of false negative?

I was very happy to see my negativd results, but since few months ago i have sympthoms, lymp node, dizzy... That wont go away.

Then recently i went to a doctor, i had general blood test that came out as normal. The the doctor asked me about hiv test, and i gave him the last negative results which took test at other places. He said since it more than 16 months so its conclusive.
But he also asked me do i want to test for hiv again?
This question makes me worry and not decide to tdst yet because i'm verry scare to see the result. He gave me medicine for my sympthom but seems didnt help.

And last night, i compare my general blood tests the recent one with the old one (2009) i see my wbc decrease from 6.2 to 4.5 (normal 4-10). That makes me very very worry.

- Now i need advice, what to do? Did my 2 negative after 16 months conclusive or not?

- did my vitamin injections effect the tests or not?

- do i need hiv test again or not? I dont want to test because i'm very scare the result.


My last sex encouter: march 2010.

i had protectected sex and i ejaculated inside the condom while inside her.
But i didnt check if it leaked or broke at all (my big mistake).

you had no risk

3 months is CONCLUSIVE

vitamin injections dont affect tests

didnt need to test in the first place...further testing is not needed.

re-read what i just told you.

if you are having health concerns, see your doctor.   it's NOT hiv related.

i'm sorry, what iv drug use means?

I thought in general injection.

And i always have a scary feeling that condom broke that time.

SHARING drug works with someone who has hiv.

i'm sorry but i'm a little confused here.

I want to mention about above post that said, false negative can also be caused by iv drug use. And i want to know what is that iv drug use?


Your answer said it' sharing drug works, do that cause false negative?

Thanks for your answers, i just wanna clear out my mind

If you share needles with drug users you will place yourself at risk of Hiv infection.What.s false negative got to do with anything.If you mean do chronic iv drug users take longer to seroconvert,well the answer is they might.The facts for your are that you never had a risk and never needed to test and you have already been told this.

NO. A chronic iv drug user is a heroin addict,etc.You would know if your condom broke,it would have been obvious.You really need to except the answers that you have been given and move on with your life instead of going around in circles.Your safe.
