Oh good grief. This is a waste of my time and your emotional energy. It is not possible that you have HIV or that you will ever have a positive test, if you are not exposed to the virus in the future. Move on. If you cannot, get counseling. It is not normal to be so resistant to such overwhelming evidence and common sense.
That's all for this thread. Any more of this and the entire thread will be deleted without further reply. And do not start a new thread with the same questions; it would suffer the same fate, without refund of the posting fee.
All my tests were negative. My concern was that perheaps if in a few years I might find out that I did get HIV after the tests that I had which where negative. As in HIV antibodies started after my last (5month) test, hence why I asked if its possible in any way that I could have HIV later in life after my negative tests from this exposure?
OK, now I'm confused. What do you mean you "did have HIV from the last test..."? That's pretty crucial information to have omitted from your original question! Did you have a false positive result in the past? If so, it should make no difference in interpretation of your more recent test results. But please explain.
Thanks. My only concern excluding stress prolonging HIV was finding out in a couple of years that I did have HIV from the last test that I had. That is what really scares me.
You are asking me to answer the same questions with different words. Re read my replies above and pay attention this time. I already said it is not possitlbe for stress to make your HIV tests negative after several months.
I wanted to clarify Q3 as it may have been misunterstood or I might have written it the wrong way. I understand that the tests that I had are HIV negative and that the tests are accurate but what I wanted to know was if my body not the test could start to produce HIV antibodies after the period of 5 months after my last test or to put it lightly, Can HIV show up after 5 months from my situtation?. From an assurance point impossible is very reassuring and I love the real statistics you give. When you say my chances of HIV are lower, would you put it in the billions or less? Thanking you
Welcome to the forum. These issues have been discussed innumerable times so the replies will be brief.
1) The effects of stress on the immune system are minor and they do not include any effect on timing or reliability of HIV test results.
2) Zero. With those test results, it is impossible you have HIV.
3) You correctly state the current understanding about HIV test results.
4) You do not need any more testing.
5) I cannot vouch for 1 in 700,000 of being hit by a meteorite. That seems too high to me, though. Maybe that's the lifetime risk, not annual risk. Anyway, the chance you have HIV is even lower.
It is time for you to accept the reality that you did not have HIV and move on with your life. There will be no responses to any "yes but", "what if", or "did you really mean" follow-up questions. There is nothing you can say that would change my opinion or advice.
