Confusing....Please please urgent...

[boken]

Dear all,

As some of you may know me.

I had a sex with someone on Apr 15. After 2 weeks, I got all the HIV symptoms some of them are disappeared now. Now it's been 8 weeks since the Apr 15.

My symptoms are
- Headache,
- Fever
- Dearheaa
- Muscle pain
- Rash
- Sweating
- Yellow tongue --> This still YELLOW
- White patches around my tongue

..etc.

Now, I have rash and YELLOW tongue ...

I have tested

- 2 weeks HIV antibody and all STD tests which are negative
- 25 days, RT-PCR-HIV test negative
- 7 weeks HIV antibody test which is negative  

1 .Please is this tests are trustable? How much trustable is this?

2. At 7 weeks test, the doctor performed a test which took only 20 minutes. She said it is antibody test...i forget the name. It started with "O". Do anyone know such a test which takes only 20 minutes?


I am waiting please help me... I am confused..I don't know whether I can trust or not. I had a plan to marry after 4 weeks. I am afraid whether I am gonno ruin someones's life if I am infected and still in WINDOW period.

HIV tests almost always turn positive within a month after the onset of ARS.
Which indicates that whatever you had was something else, not ARS.
If you are still worried and had a real risk, wait another month and get another test then.
CDC does recommend a 3 month waiting period.

Do you know the antibody test name which only takes 20 minutes to get the result??

And I have YELLOW TONGUE still....is there any suggestion of the cause?

[DrStupid]

Yeah, it's called a rapid test.
Do you smoke?

[boken]

No I don't smoke...

[boken]

How much this rapid test is trustable??? After 7 weeks.

[DrStupid]

Your test was FDA-approved, unless you got it from some dude at a flea market.
So it's reliable.
Nobody knows the exact accuracy of tests at given time points, because those studies are impossible to carry out.
But a 7-week test will surely detect 90-95% of infected people, so you should feel damn good about it.
In fact, unless you had anal sex with a known poz, you should regard your negative result as 99.99% accurate.

Also, the PCR-DNA test should encourage you.  While they are not FDA approved for HIV screening, this is because they have too high of a false positive rate.  The fact that you tested negative on the super duper uber sensitive PCR means that you are negative.

Get a rapid Ora-quik test at the absolutely definitive 3 month mark if you remain worried, but don't expect your result to change from your negative status! Congratulations!

"- 25 days, RT-PCR-HIV test negative
- 7 weeks HIV antibody test which is negative "

Boken, I'd say you should rest easy. You've got two right tests at the right time, so there's nothing to worry about.

PCR at the 25th day rules out HIV infection and an antibody test at the 7th weeks gives a similar indication.

Retest at the 12th week for your own peace of mind but I promise that you are HIV negative.
