counterproductive "Tending to hinder rather than serve one's purpose"

I was looking for a your views (all forum members) about HIV duo test accuracy at 9 weeks post exposure. A debate if you like.

I would agree its been counterproductive. However im not sure why?

We cant agree on exposure or my mental health. why not agree to disagree and answer the question I posted rarther than hinder it.

You never had an exposure and never needed testing the first place. Additional answers will only give weight to your unfounded fears. This forum has now become counterproductive for you.

Of course I have anxiety its natural and part of my fight or flight responce to a potentialy life threating illness.

I am deffinaltly addressing the situation. Ive booked myself in for a 12 week post exposure test. (What more can i do to address the situation)

All Iv'e asked for  is opinions with regards the accuracy of my 9 week DUO test.

All i get is "anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning conclusively of no-risk situation in Teaks oppinion will be subject to action"  
or "you need mental help"

I didnt even asked about my exposure or mental health.

How accurate is a 4th Generation HIV DUO test accuracy at 28, 41 and 61 days post exposure. (Not asking if its conclusive)

It's a mental health issue because you have anxiety and are not addressing it.

How could it not be a mental health issue when you said- YOUR WORDS: "Im still going out of my mind with worry."??

In fact, you are only increasing it by the 'research' that you are doing. You need to get off of HIV forums and stop researching HIV on the internet and address your anxiety with professional mental help.

My issue is as follows and nothing to do with my mental health. (interesting that you can make that diagnoses from this thread all the same)

My sore **** was exposed to cum within the womans mouth. (Not ouside the body)

My NHS HIV specialist doctor beleve this to be a low risk of transmition but certanly NOT no risk situation. (He confirmed that i have swolen lymph nodes in my kneck and groin area)

Frreomhealth.co.uk (london based private doctors) beleve this to be a low risk of transmition but certanly NOT a NO risk situation.

You guys on this website think its a deffinate no risk situation.


Testing

Freedomhealth beleve 9 week DUO test is conclusive.

NHS in uk belebve 12 week DUO test is conclusive therfore im not out of the woods.

I know Teak beleves 12-13 week test is conclusive therfore in his oppinion with regards testing im not out of the woods.

All very conflicting and confusing when you are abviously and naturally worried about a very serious illness. (wish I was better informed and more worried about std's before i did this)
Worry about HIV given possible exposure in natural. And from a mental health point of view NOT an issue. (Persitant worry following a conclusive test would mean i requier profetional mentel help however im not there yet)

My risk is obviously subject to interpritation and debatable. Thats why I was asking about testing initially and didnt post detailing my exposure/risk.

I'm 99.9% sure my body hadent developed any antibodys by 9 weeks due to my test results. What the probabilaty of a 9 week negative HIV DUO test turning positive at the conclusive period 12 weeks.
Teak please note I am not asking when is this test conclusive.
