Doubts about HIV transmition
Last November i had a risky experience with a girl that i had just met one night. I fingered her in the vagina but i had a cut made the day before (a very stupid situation, i now). I took 4 Elisa Tests (4th generation) since january (two months, two weeks after the risky situaction) to june (6 months 3 weeks after the incident), and all of them were negative...
Now i have a real fear of being infected with the HVI for 3 reasons:
1- The results of the tests were all negative, but they were increasing gradually, from 0,010 with a cut off 0,140, to 0,030 with a cut off 0,132 in the last one.
2- I've been living many symptoms related with the HIV infection: gastrointestinal problems (my doctor asked me to make a stool analysis and it shown an infection with giardia), i took a ten days treatment with metronidazole, according to a new analysis the parasite has gone, but many symptoms have stayed. Since two weeks ago i noticed that my tongue was turning white, and i'm sure i have a fungal infection. Also i've been suffering many eruptions in my mouth.
3- I've read that coinfection with another virus increases the length of the HIV window period, and i think i could have one.
Does any doctor could answer me please, if i have a real risk of being infected, and my symptoms could be related with a coinfection?. Also i wold like to know which other infections could cause to lenght the window period and how many time would be necessary to detect the antibodies and antigen with a longest window period.
Please, understand my situationd and understand my fears... Thank you very much...

1. Irrelevant. You wasted your time testing since you had zero risk. Only sex risks are unprotected anal or vaginal which you didn't have.
2. You have no medical training so can't diagnose disease, and those symptoms prove nothing because many people get them who don't even have sex.
3. Irrelevant also, other than the fact this faulty premise that you have HIV needs to be addressed by you.
The doctors left years ago, but this is a moderated board, so all the answers will be the same on account of incorrect info gets deleted and posters then leave.
This is an HIV forum and since you have no medical training you need to leave it to your doctor to deal with any infections since they have nothing to do with HIV.

I just come from my doctor, because i take an extra stool analysis, he said me that i'm infected once again with another parasite: blastocystis hominis, also he examinate my tongue and he found that i have a candida fungus.
this situation isn't irrelevant for me, it's been a cause of a great anxiety and fear.
I know that i have not medical training, that's why i'm here, looking for other points of view, of people who know and who has other experiences...

i'm really scared...
Sorry, this is purely an HIV forum, so any comments I made were in reference to HIV, such as the irrelevant for example. Whatever parasite he found this time is again irrelevant to HIV.
There are other forums that may deal with whatever diagnosis you are getting, but if he is finding parasites, then continue working with your doctor because you never had an HIV risk, and need to mentally move on from HIV.
