On Dec 1 the weather started to go below 0 and i started to have symtoms

Headache , fatigue,  and not consistent  diareia,  slight joint pain , mussels pain . Sore throat,  enlarged neck and under ear lymph nodes and slightly painfull, my ear feels plugged and pops when i swallow and my right eye started to have a slight pain around it.

I tested on the 5th week with 4th generation combo and Rna and both came negative. And oraquick  in home swab test 3 times. All came negative.

Should i trst again? Or that is conclusive?

One more time....I'll repeat this..

Your tests were not necessary.  Since you took them, believe them.

Your test is definitive.  Please kindly move along.

You're not listening.  It doesn't matter if you have TEXTBOOK HIV symptoms, you never had a risk.  You cannot GET HIV without having a risk.  End of story.

Your tests were not necessary.  Since you took them, believe them.

Thanks Vance,

I still have my ears plugged and my neck lymph nodes are little enlarged, also I have a little pain behind my testicles it is not persistent, I feel it when I move sometimes, it is like when some area gets pressed. and for these reasones I did these tests.

@ 6 Weeks 0 Days : OraQuick mouth swab in home kit – Negative
@ 7 Weeks 0 Days : OraQuick mouth swab in home kit – Negative
@ 8 Weeks 0 Days : OraQuick mouth swab in home kit – Negative

Should I really ignore these things and think about something else? especially after the 8 week oraquick test?


thank you.

I want just to add more symtoms may be that makes diffrence, i also atarted to have a slightly blured viaion on my right eye also my appetite has been almost lost completely but got better after i got the negative test result.

My question is and forgive me if i am asking again, suppose that it was a high risk , with this tests results, should i continue worry and test again or i can say that it is conclusive? And really go on with my life? I am married and i do not want to transmit anything to my wife.
