She told me to sleep well tonight because her opinion is that I have not been exposed to HIV. She did recommend a follow up HIV in two months to confirm. I know Teak the P24 is in direct conflict to the window in which you say it is accurate. The research I have done and articles I have read also say the same, but she is an Infectious Disease Doctor, so I have to go with her on this one. Do I feel more relieved? Maybe a bit.... but I am also concerned in which the order of the tests were taken. I am going to see her tomorrow for a check up..... I think maybe I should have another HIV antibody test because this is the 13th week.
I am still concerned about my CD4 and CD 8 counts. She suggested I wait it out for another two months to see if they bounce back, but her opinion is that those are caused by the EBV. This all makes some some sense.... low CD4 and CD8's... negative antibody and a negative PCR <50 copies. I do not think less than 50 copies can destroy your CD's in such a manner.... Dr. Stupid any comment??
Read above...very curious.
