You might benefit from some professional help for your phobias and high anxiety related to this matter.The fact is that you tested negative past the hiv window period which means that you don,t have hiv and that any symptoms you maybe having are related to stress not hiv.Your safe and your negative test result is proof of this.Let it go.

accept your negative status and move on with your life.

your tests PROVE that you dont have hiv...therefore...this forum has nothing left to offer

i am now exactly 3 months after exposure and been relatively unwell for over 5 weeks.   i still have earaches,  sinuses feeling like filling up,  post nasal drip and according to my massage therapist an inflamed liver.   i am freaking out as i have never been sick for longer than 5 days and was super healthy.  could this be hepatitis ?  am still scared of hiv too.

it is HIGHLY unlikely that a negative test result at 10 weeks will change.  expect a negative at the 3 month mark.

You have no choice about waiting. You should have thought about that before having unprotected sex.

the only way to know one's status is by testing at the appropriate time...symptoms dont diagnose hiv.

6-8 weeks for a good indication of your status...3 months for a conclusive result
