That didn't sound right - I meant not when I'm having chronic symptoms at such a young age. Given my drug usage and unhealthy lifestyle, I don't blame myself.
Well thank you, and I agree something is wrong.
I will try to take your word and move on.
Not when I know something is wrong with my body!
Something is surely happening with your health, but it is not HIV related .
I hope you'll get to the bottom of it, but HIV is not on the radar as the cause....not with 8 negative Oraquicks after the window period.
You ever think there isn't anything wrong with you?
Thank you for the response.
Your response sounds completely logical but then why do I have a fever right now and why am I losing muscle/weight all over my body despite eating more and trying to build muscle? Why do I have black rings under my eyes and why am I suffering from such long term digestive issues? Why would nothing be picked up on two colonscopies and multiple blood tests and CT scans? Why can't a dr. find anything wrong?
I have to sound like a prick but this just seems too coincidental! I'm sure I'll be banned for this response. Thank you for the reassurance anyway and have a good night.
The Oraquick Oral Home test is equivalent in accuracy to a lab based blood test when taken after 12 weeks post potential exposure.
The test is extremely difficult to perform wrong.
The reported "false" negatives are really not false negatives but the result of folks doing the test too early and the random person that cannot follow instructions. If documented in a meta analysis trial, a few mistakes will skew the overall accuracy rate.
You took the test 8 times. There is no way in hell you have HIV!

Interesting, I guess it varies from person to person.
Man, this is just so strange. My symptoms couldn't mimic HIV any closer other than not having a rash or coughing symptoms. I guess I won't get over this until I have my blood drawn.
Have you experienced on/off low grade fevers out of curiousity?
Seek professional help. You do not have an HIV concern.
I also really appreciate your reply, I feel stupid posting this in the first place but I just feel so weak and progressively worse as time goes on.
Hi Teak,
Thank you for the response.
Ugh .. I just don't know what to say. I guess nothing will change until I have my blood drawn, something is telling me I'm that small minority that won't test positive from an oraquick. I know I sound crazy, but I feel like I'm slowly wasting away and I'm only 23. If the symptoms weren't there, I think I would have no problem moving on.
You're right though, I definitely have mental health issues :(
I suggest you seek professional mental help as to why you can't accept you results. You do not have HIV, you've tested conclusively negative.
I also just want to say I'm so sorry for asking this type of question, but you guys have to trust me, I know my body and it's apparent that something is really damaging my body and mind in all ways! I hope you can believe me.
