I have no idea what your problems are except that it is unrelated to HIV. See your doctor for all your pains and symptoms. You are conclusively negative.

dyno.  please stop worrying about hiv.  your tests prove that this is not the cause, so as hard as it is to do, you must put this behind you.  your 'symptoms' are due to something unrelated to hiv, most likely, anxiety.

Take action. You've tested negative for HIV several times and from looking at your lab results, you probably have another illness. Liver enzymes could be elevated for numerous reasons... hepatitis, alcoholism or even liver cancer.

Please follow-up with your physician and find out why your liver enzymes are elevated.

You said you have pain in your groin area... are your lymph nodes swollen ?

you should have a doc examine you for other health problems, i don't think you hav hiv

I dont think a doctor would conduct all that blood work and not try and provide a diagnosis. Are you ordering your blood tests without medical supervision and interpetation? Get a second opinion by a Dr in internal medicine. It doesnt hurt getting a second set of eyes on it.

By the way. You do not have HIV. Liver enzymes can be raised by taking things like tylenol for pain. Some medications cause elevated enzymes. They are metabolized in the liver and cause some inflamation (inflammation). Tell your doctor everything you are taking if you haven't. I had raised levels when I was acheing all over and took tylenol. I told the doctor and she said, "Aha! Thats why." She told me to not take it a few days prior to blood work and guess what, everything was normal.

Have yourself tested for Hepatitus (hepatitis).....If you have elevated liver enyzmes it could be a sign of having been exposed to that virus....Have yourself checked for that.
