I don't think hypothyriodism has anything to do with immunocompromosation.
You can test 3 months for your conclusive result, which would be April 19th. No your symptoms are not HIV related. A test now is unlikely to change.
Thanks for your reply. Provided some comfort.
Forgot to add that sometime in feb I had cold-like symptoms that were easily knocked down with Alka seltzer. Also this rash is also on my abdomen, legs, doesn't itch and doesn't seem to be responding to prednisone.
Would an 11 week post contact test be conclusive?
A 10 week test or 11 week test with the new tests they are using is not going to change from 10/11 weeks and 12 weeks.
Thank you Vance.
I hope you can understand my extreme anxiety. I have lost weight over this. I'm usually very level headed and reasonable.
One more thing. The night of the 28th I woke up freezing with extreme shivering.
Were I to be positive, it would be completely devastating.
Do you put the cart before the horse? Don't do it in this situation either.
Lol no. I typically don't.
Guess I'll find out tomorrow. Sorry to bother you Vance. Thank you for what you do
Haha. Btw. April 19th is my bday
Oh. Had a physical last Thursday. Bloodwork from the previous week was normal
Good to hear. Good luck with your test
So can I reasonably assume that, although its not an HIV test, my normal bloodwork/urnialisys results indicate that I am generally infection free?
I apologize for beating this dead horse thats behind the cart but I am just scared to DEATH!!
If this rash doesn't clear after if find out my results tomorrow I'm going back to the Dr. I'm concerned by the apparent thrush BUT that could be part of having taken 1600mg of sulfa based antibiotics for 8 days.
One more thing I forgot to add. When I was having the worst symptoms to the sulfa, It hurt to move my eyes. When I put all my symptoms into WebMD symptom checker, medication reaction was at the top of the list of possibilities, but not that far down was "viral syndrome" Thats when I began to REALLY freak out.
Well I definitely have oral thrush. Just did the spit test.
Spit test is unreliable. And ARS comes on at 2-4 weeks not 2.5 months
Your normal blood work means nothing.
Why not just test now? As I said your result will not change in 2 weeks.
I had the blood drawn yesterday. I'll find out tomorrow.
I'm willing to bet (praying) the thrush is from the antibiotics.
Wooooooo hooooooooo. HSV 1/2 and HIV 1/2 NEGATIVE!!!!!!
Now put it behind you and move on
Already have bro! Already have. Thanks for being here
Already have bro! Already have. Thanks for being here
thats a conclusive result, at 6 weeks its 95%, at 8 its 100% yours is at 11weeks. so yeah you can deff move on and stop worrying you are HIV free. from now on condoms to keep it that way
