Am I the exception?
This year I had several encounters with different girls from an online chatting room. With some of them who seemed to be clean and declared to be students, we had unprotected sex. To my surprise, I later heard that some of them had dozens of partners and who knows their status!
Then I had my toughest period of my life waiting for a definitive test. I had all symptoms that could be imagined about hiv infection. On 65 and 88 days from my last exposure, I got negative results.
However, I told my provider my body is not good because I catch a cold every 1-2 months from childhood to now, sometimes even fever. He said my immune system is weak and had better do some further hiv test to make sure.
I'm wondering how much longer do you recommend that I have to wait to get a absolutely conclusive result?
And should I test my cd4 amount ?

Ok, thank you.
the last question, is my 88 day negative result also conclusive for HIV-2 ? Cause I heard hiv2 takes longer to produce antibody

Thats BS.If you have HIV you will always test positive on a test 3 months post--exposure but usually well before that.
Google says that a few guys infected with HIV but always test negative for many years, because their body don't produce the specific antibody to HIV, while they produce antibody to other antigens.
You would know if you have a disease the compromises your immune system. 3 months post exposure is when your post exposure test will be conclusive.
I don't know if I have a severely compromised immune system. I'm not iv drug abuser and only 21 years old, don't have severe illness, either.
But I don't know if I have natural immune disease. I have never been diagnosed with that. Only get sick frequently all my life.
What's your opinion?
