ARS after 3 months

Dear Dr,
I got tested at 12 weeks of a protected encounter (unaware of the nature of the condom).. It showed negative in rapid card hiv 1 & 2 test.. Then ECLIA&CLIA duo test at 14 weeks also showed negative.. Is this conclusive? Do ars occur after 12 weeks? Kindly reply.. I am anxious..

Hello BeStrong,
Sorry for bothering you again.. Firstly, I am curious to know whether hot flashes are specific to HIV.. I had hot flash after 3 weeks (one night) and 80 days (one night) after exposure.. In some websites it is mentioned that hot flash is a symptom of hiv infection.. Secondly, will cold interfere with the test results.. Kindly clarify.. Thanking you..

You never had an exposure and never needed testing.

Your negative results prove that hiv is not the issue here.

Keep calm
