Dear doc ,
i have two question one is regarding my symptom and other one is about my test results
its been around 7 yrs that i have protected sex with a female sex worker. after 2-3 yrs i lost my weight rapidly (which i thought is might be due to the heavy smoking+i have a acidity problem too). then i refocused on my diet and put lots of weight on .Other than there had been no significant symptom appear on my body uptill now .Do you think my weight loss symptom is in relation with hiv ???
Recently i have taken the hiv test one is RAPID (ICT Method on-Abott Diagnostics) and the another one is ELISA (on Multi scan-Ms) from the same blood sample ,at this time i have a fever and was taking antibiotics.But the both results are negative
Do you think that i should take another test ??? .... because symptom of weight loss and the fear of false negative is killing me every day ....plz help
thank you
