Weak Immune system,12 week Conclusive ?

[naveea]

Hello Doctor

Am a 27 year old male from india, I have had Sinus infections from childhood but only in Winters ,Otherwise i was quite healthy though am underwieght.. I weigh 58 Kgs and 5'11'' Tall

1st Exposure -with CSW in March -May 2009(4 encounters with the same CSW),it was protected vaginal and unprotected oral in UK.I had bad sore throat after a week after my 1st encounter.went away afer i took some antibiotics

2nd Exposure-with an CSW in india in Dec 2009,Had protected oral and vaginal sex with CSW,However my condom broke and i realised only after ejaculation  

Surgery - had a tonsillectomy,sinus surgery, and septoplasty to get rid of my sore throat in Jan 2010 .
Symptoms - Feb 2010 i have had rashes on palm and Chest ,Fever,Chest Pain,Muscle and joint pain and sore throat was back

Testing- tested negative for HIV on April 2010 (4 months after condom break incident)

3rd exposure- I still dont know why i did it. Visited a another CSW in india on May 2010 ,had protected oral and vaginal sex,same condom was used for both oral and vaginal,I checked and the Condom was intact .But touched the tip of the codom to check for breakage and then tip to the penis hole to wash it

Symptoms/ARS - It started after 4 weeks after my 3rd exposure,Fever (99F),Sore throat,Painful lymph nodes in neck and armpit,muscle pain(sore chest and shoulders) ,All this lasted till 8 weeks after my 3rd exposure..

Testing - I tested negative for Syphillis,HEP B,HEP C and HIV Antibody 12 weeks(.e 83 days and 16 hours post my 3rd exposure) from my protected oral and vaginal exposure and 7 months from my condom break exposure (2nd Exposure)

I would like to know how conclusive is that?

I have a weak immune system (I have been sick for a year now with recurrent infections which is still undiagnosed,) i still have Chronic Pharyngitis(Sore Throat) which never went away till now ,can i be 100% sure that its not HIV?

Just got my herpes results . I tested positive for hsv 1 ígg.  what does it mean? Will herpes cause delayed seroconversion? Or increase the risk of hiv of hiv transmission?

Condoms are fully effective provided they remain in place and do not break, whcih cna happen in 15% of the cases.  That is what that figure that you mention means.  If you are completely sure that the condom did not break and did not come off, then it is 100% safe.  In any case, your negative HIV test is fully conclusive.

Thanks for you quick reply Dr.Jose..just one more clarification

Though my 3rd exposure was protected ,Condoms are not 100% safe, i have read its only 85 % effective . If by some means the condom dint work ,is my 84th day test conclusive  for some one who has a weak immune system and has been sick for a year with reccurent infections ?

Just want to 100% sure, because i dont want to take any chances as i will be getting married shortly

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Thank you very much for your post and welcome to our HIV forum.
The only sexual encounter that would have involved any HIV risk was the second one when the condom broke.  All the others did not involve any risk of HIV infection.
The test that you had performed at 12 weeks following the last event can be considered final and fully conclusive.  There is no doubt about that.  You are definitely HIV negative.
Best wishes,
Dr José
