Dear Moderators, please for your generous comments!

Recently I posted a thread about an HIV exposure which involved heterosexual sex (Between my new gf and I). In summary, I have had severe ARS following this exposure to date, almost 7 weeks. My symptoms included the following; reoccurring low grade fever, fatigue, which has continued till date. Along the lines, I have also encountered episodes of nausea, swollen lymph nodes which elapses and disappears, severe joint pains and most recently i have had two successive CBC all tuned out with very low WBC (2.51 & 3.00) respectively.

Tests Done So far:
1) Exactly at 3 weeks, I got tested using 4th Gen DUO ---- Negative
2) At 4 weeks, I got tested most probably using the 3rd Gen Elisa AB----Negative
3) Still at 4 weeks, my gf tested using 4th Gen DUO AG/AB------- Negative
4) At weeks, I tested using 4th Gen DUO & did receive results today ---- Negative

Concerns:
I am currently taking multi-vitamins and Vit D supplements, as such was wondering if it could affect the
accuracy of the above mentioned tests?

Please I will greatly appreciate if someone could react to my concerns. Can I peacefully move on with
my life knowing that HIV is not the reason behind my poor health. Thanks in advance. Peace

Any HIV Duo test done 4 or more weeks after exposure is 100 percent definitive according to this very own forums HIV experts, Dr. Handsfield and Dr. Hook.
