First of all Teak thanks for your help 78 days ago.  I had what has been termed a low risk exposure.  At 25 days a negative HIV pro viral, as well as antibody test.  The other person was negative antibody at  25 days as well.  Negative oraquick at 60 days.  Decided I was probably safe so donated blood, I understand they use NAT as well as antibody, and that was at 74 days and they say I am clear to donate as soon as 56 days pass, that everything came back negative.  Have had a ton of symptoms.  Almost all can be explained away but, is this denial thinking?  Any comments, do I need to test at 90 dyas or can I move on???
