Clearview stat-pak HIV 1 & 2 says this in their documents:
...if you are certain that you have not had any contacts that could transmit HIV in the 3 months before your HIV test, a "negative" result means you were not infected with HIV...
A company has a lot of responsibility saying this. So if what I quoted applies to you, and you tested at 8 months, then smile about that fact and get your sanity back.
Symptoms dont imply anything.You are overshadowed by anxiety. Just move on. Educate yourself about HIV. Your test at 8 months shows you have no HIV. Take care and be well.
