For 2 weeks now I been suffering over a fear of having htlv. I fee like I have every symtpm. I feel fevrish a lot, I get the chills so much, I been bruising easily and catch a lot of colds. It's been happening for a year now. I took an antibody test after a year of my risk and it was negative. I want to get the pcr but I'm so scared of it returning positive. I don't know how I'll deal with this. I feel like I'm developing lukemia. What should I do I'm very scared? I need help someone please answer and help me.

Hey thank you but I'm talking about HTLV. It's a different virus then hiv. I got tested for hiv though and it was negative for that as well.

Your mind can truly play tricks on you. You were negative. You are negative. That simple. Hiv is very hard to get less than 1% of Americans have it. If truly feel thT sick talk to your doctor but also mention the anxiety afterwards.
