ARS symptoms
Posted twice here and might sound annoying, I took a finger prick test today 40 days post PEP at a local HIV clinic and it came negative. I had a DNA PCR test at 18 days post pep which came negative. I am experiencing a headache, stomach pain and feeling weak. Also I am planning to visit my doctor and have an Eliza combo vein blood drawn test at 45 days. Can my 40 days test change after 5 days when I take the combo test.
Those symptoms are common to billions of negative people so you should stop examining your body cold turkey and stop googling "symptoms" cold turkey because symptoms are not an hiv diagnostic.

Thank you, symptoms are nothing thus why I went and take a test today at 40 days post pep. Is the test I took promising that I didn't contract HIV, I need to take a 4th Generation Duo test in 7 days to come.
You already received advice about testing so nothing I can add, other than if the finger test was 4 or 5 gen it is conclusive since it is past 4 weeks.
Not sure what you are saying about symptoms - first post you list them so you must feel there is a purpose, then your next post you say they are "nothing", I discussed symptoms so am done with that topic.
