16 HIV test All negative yet ARS

DR. HHH , I have taken 16 HIV test all which were negative yet I still have a white coated tongue and white flaks appaering on my legs/feet.  The posssible expouser took place in 8/09 with TS sex worker.  I have taken test up to 8 months which has been extremely stressful.  Is it possible to have  ARS ( hot sweats, white coating on tongue etc.) and the antibody not appear? My thoughts were if you have ARS you should have antibodies as well right? I'm praying hourly that I do not have HIV so your assistance with my question is greatly appreciated.

I sure hope your not eliminating the possibility this may be a dermalogical problem or perhaps some other general health issue, dry skin on ankles and feet can be from a number of causes.

when you brush tounge does the whiteness go away?  atleast for a bit...I have whats called geological tounge...white before brushing and after brushing there are red patches that look like shapes of countrys almost hence the name.

see a dermatlolgist, and endrocrinologist...some of the tests they can run would rule out things like thyroid issues, which can make body heat control a issue,,,the derma for obvious reasons...seems I remember hearing of white flakey skin of feet and ankles being a clue to diabeties..so cover all your bases...maybe your thinking aids and its something all together different.

ars kicks in 2 to 4 weeks from date of infection and disappears after a month, your symtoms have got nothing to do with hiv, seek a proffesional mental help if you cant accept your negatve status
