2 positive ELISA test eight months before, i took STD profile last week and its NEGATIVE for HIV ELISA...what is this???
i was tested for HIV last march 2007 it came out positive with ELISA twice done...last week i have gonorrhea and the doctor suggested to do STD panel, this time in another hospital,i did not disclose to him about my hiv status but i just simply agreed to do the STD panel... 3 days after i know they will call me to do this and that just like before, but to my surprise, they did'nt,but what was really surprising is my HIV result is negative,i don't know if i should be happy....
i tried to get info on the internet about some stds that can contribute to false positive test,the virusmyth.com for example...and also there is called a window phase???i mean it has been 8 months...i have receptive anal sex with different partners....please,anyone there who had the same situation can you share with me???

oh teak, ofcourse i knew him so well coz we are living in the same subdivision, so i tell i was positive for HIV but not yet confirmed, i dont want to hurt anyone, and i read the news about someone being jailed about spreading this disease...i even recorded it just in case...but it was fine with him telling me there are lots of couples out there where one is positive and the other negative...up to now he is negative....
What did you disclose to your partner? You have not be confirmed to be HIV positive. You should be using condoms for all your anal or vaginal sex until you and your partner have tested together.
i know you too have this problem...why in the first place you visited this forum...thoughts????
can you just say something bad like that,,,but you are excused this time,,,you don't have any idea of the whole story,after i received my result ofcourse i totally quit,and after a month or so i have a steady partner who i disclose my condition and he totally loves me and have plans on getting married,,,you think i am crazy and inhumane???get a life...and who are you by the way...i know my responsibility...and by the way,i don't care what you say about me having no hope,coz last week changed my life it gave me hope...i believe people change,but you have to help yourself and be strong and determined...thank you anyway,maybe you made it as a reminder for everyone out there but in a harsh tone punk....good luck to you too...
So you are out still having sex when you thought you where HIV positive???? and you think you should be happy that it was negative!!!!! You should be happy that there is a chance you havnt infected anyone else!!!! this is why HIV is spread the way it is people dont take responsibility !!! and then you thought you had HIV and you were still out anal sexing it up and ended up with gonhoria??? What does it take for someone to practice safe sex if AIDS doesnt then there is no hope for you!!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!
and all you are doing is scaring other folks with your irrational behavior ... you need to educate yourself about HIV in general. A good site to do this at is www.aidsmeds.com. Please do not post your irrational thoughts on their forums though -- you will get absolutely nowhere.
reread the post mitm, do you have cancer? are you on chemo? is your hair falling out and body falling apart? Have you had an organ transplant and are you currently taking meds to suppress your immune system (systemically, every day for the past 6+ months?). I dont think so.
Unless you are an anomaly, you would be the first person in the history of HIV to test positive outside of 8 months with current hiv testing methods.
Therefore, there is no reason to believe ANYTHING couldve affected you. You need to see a counselor as soon as you can. You are being completely ridiculous and irrational.

both false negative or positive could happen,false negative due to extention of window period and false positive for some specific reason that my knowledge is limited about them,but as far as i know both might happen .
i am giving my experiences,as up to now symptoms keep hitting me and my gf ...from 2 days ago i got badly sore throat ...

you know absolutely nothing about HIV, no disease can alter the window period and give a false negative unless your immune system is SEVERELY depleted from chemo or anti rejection drugs. What you read was probably other conditions that could cause a false POSITIVE, not negative.
You need to stop testing and get some help man.

thanks teak....as what i heard you have HIV for 20 years, does it bother you that maybe you have antibodies other than HIV not the HIV itself???teak, this is a personal question, but how did you acquired it???through intercourse or through other routes???if you had contact with someone, you can catch HIV for only one sex encounter with that infected partner???
All positive tests have to be confirmed. If you have not had a conformation test then more than likely you don't have HIV. Once someone is positive they always have antibodies.
indefinite results????like you will have these kind of antibodies for the rest of your life???even it cross reacts with hiv test...so meaning hiv testing is somehow,,,i don't know what to say...inaccurate???
i was given the opt before to do western blot, but at that time i was so stressed,,,i just let it pass...I don't know i felt relieved,,,but i am currently under treatment for gonorrhea...but for sure i will do the western blot next month or january a 2008 year beginner for me...so weird right????i wish to tell this to everyone about some false positive,so they will not be too much stressed about it like i was befor...i learned my lesson..maybe this is a second chance given to me...is there someone here,who's hiv positive???
not exatcly same , but i had exposure ,end of march 2007.
up to now 8 negative results.
yes I found out that some facotrs can affect on HIV test ,like driniking too much alcohol or some other antibodies for other disease could conflict and give fake or indefinite result as far as i know ofcurse.
why did nt u do confirmatory test by the time?
