Did anyone find out what was going on ???
Just curious how accurate is a test after 40 days? I feel like I am loosing my mind here. I used a condom but for whatever reason I still feel faint symtpoms and I am not sure if it is just that the test was a false negative or if I am just going through some anxiety.
I too took the test 40 days after. I had sex with a condom but fear the worst. Am going back for another test. I still feel ill. Dry spot in throat and random pains around jaw and head
" I am worried about 3 things. Delayed Seroconversion, False Negative Results, and Rare Strain..."
Urban myths. You don't have HIV. Please continue to work with your doctor on potential causes other than HIV.
OK Over Tested I Know this. However my exposure was in the middle east. I am worried about 3 things. Delayed Seroconversion, False Negative Results, and Rare Strain...

Waiting on NAAT RNA test sure it will be negative.
I can't live my life in fear. I still feel aweful but it's not like it is going to help anything by worrying my life away. Anxiety itself can give you all the symptoms of HIV. I dont think I have HIV anymore. I caught a virus that is running it's couse. There are a lot of viruses that are passed sexually. Some are very nasty but not like HIV.
i.e.
HTLV type 1&2
HHV6
Brucila
TB
Granuloma ingual ( don't have the spelling)
The Barona Virus
Keep working with your doctors like I did. I have something but it's not life threatening. Good luck
And.....
Go buy some good condoms and have lots of safe sex. Have a smoothie and be good to your selves. That's what I am trying and I think it's working for me.
this wasnt on a forum. Two doctors told me to retest at the 6 month mark. One was a HIV specialist and my gp. The axioty is killing me along with my bad stomach, lack of appatite and some other isses I have going on. Could all these symptoms be from my anxioty? So far all my test point to -iv i. hope it stays that way. But I am so scared that I will be one of the people that takes longer to convert. How are the ones that take longer anyway. Has anyone actualy heard from someone that took longer than 3 months to conver of was -iv at 3 months and than without having any sexual encounters test +iv at 6 months? Thanks everyone.
From my experience on these forums, many so-called 'professionals' don't bother to keep up with the latest information.
so why do so many doctors and sites and testing centers say retest at 6 months. its enough to get you crazy.thanks for responding
"The Hiv specialest I went to for some of the tests said I should retest at the 6 month mark. So after a neg test a 4 months he tells me that so I continue to wait and freak out."
Your doctor is wrong- the window period is three months. You don't need any additional testing. You don't have HIV.
Been_there I too been tested 7 times out to 4 months and I still feel sick in my stomach. I have acid reflux and no appatite. I have lost over 12 lbs since December 17th. I had bad breakout of foliculitus on my back that was from yeast. I also had diahhrria on and off thhrough the months but it coulda been from some new meds the Dr put me on for acid reflux. I have had many othe symptoms too and was told cant judge by symptoms just a test. But the thing that gets me is the gf also has been getting the pimples and a couple of brown and redish bloches on her skin so it freaks me out too. I have had antibody tests, DNA PCR test, and rapid tests. All were negative but i continure to feel sick. The Hiv specialest I went to for some of the tests said I should retest at the 6 month mark. So after a neg test a 4 months he tells me that so I continue to wait and freak out. I have been going to counceling and trying to move on but I cant seem to either. I think I will go get a full std profile done cause maybe I caught hepatitis or something. Who knows. But from reading this forum I see I am not alone. I hope we all are able to get over this soon. Good luck
Your negative.Your symptoms are not related to hiv but some other condition.You need to see your doctor for these problems.Try not to stress about your situation because you are safe.
