having hiv or not

hello i had the symptoms of hiv after 2 weeks of an exposure it started with a shake and my body temperature became 37.5 for a week or so then diarrhea after one month of exposure my lymphnodes became bigger in my neck and a fever that doesn't go away and weakness also i can't look at bright light after 3 months of exposure i had a skin eczema that lasts for 3 weeks now I'm haveing pain in every part of my body lost wight .... my girlfriend had flu like symptoms and fungal infection in the vagina after we had sex after 1 month
i made a test called hiv antibodie ( aids test) after 2 months of exposure came back negative,  i made the same test after the 3 and half months mark came back negative,.. i had a surgery in my mouth and after that i had complications like cheek swelling and fungal infection in the mouth the doctor told me to test hiv so i went back and made the same antibodies test again and this was the 4 and half months mark came back negative
so what is wrong with me or the tests are not accurate .... by the way i have something called cmv tested twice first time igg = 339 second time igg = 341.5 after one month

As our members have pointe out to you, you are conclusively negative for HIV.  Testing in the time frame you did negative means that you do not have HIV and all symptoms you suffer are unrelated.  Please see your doctor to help you with that.  We are now closing this discussion.

If you tested negative at 4 months on an HIV antibody test, you are negative. You have conclusively tested negative.  All symptoms are unrelated.

today i started to have a rash on my face , and the sore throat comes and goes

So, what you are saying is that you tried IV drugs for the first time and are unsure about the needle you used?  Well, unfortunately, we aren't going to know if it was new or not either.  I would say that if you are truly unsure, you should test at the appropriate time.  You can get an accurate result at 28 days with a 4th generation DUO test.  The other users of a needle that is shared would have to be HIV positive for it to happen and that's probably not the case.  So, keep that in mind.  But if you might have shared a used syringe to inject drugs, you will have to test.

I also wanted to add that symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV.  Lots of things cause the symptoms people are afraid of and most of the time it is completely unrelated.  So, just focus on testing when it is the right time and try not to hyperfocus on your body as you then will feel all sorts of things due to stress.  Take a test.  Expect a negative.  
i don't think that we have this 4th generation in our country,  I'm not from the usa , and i made a test called hiv antibodie (aids test) after 4 months and it's negative till now

You still haven't clearly explained your supposed exposure. Until you provide that key information, the volunteers here won't be able to help you. Exactly what did you do that makes you think you were exposed to HIV?

a needle
What about a needle? You're going to have to be more specific because just looking at a needle isn't going to infect you.
yeah you are right :"D
you know if i tested positive after the 6 months mark i will say that i got infected by looking at a needle
obviously i suspect that i used a used one
Nothing about your explanation is obvious to anyone here since you have avoided the questions, so it is time for you to clearly state what happened.  "i suspect that i used a used one" does not explain anything.
i used a needle for drugs it was my first time so i don't know the deal
and i have another symptom i forgot to say it the bad taste from the tongue  that was for 4 days i think
please people consider that i was at risk so does i need to test again after 6 months or it's something else like another virus ( not ebv because it's negative) or the cmv do the same symptoms ?
You keep asking many questions but avoid a full explanation of what you did. Until you do that no one can help you.
When did this happen, were you alone, where did you get the needle? Etc.
new years eve,  i was not alone , i got it from someone of the crowd

What was your exposure?

ANY HIV test is conclusive when taken 90 days (or more) after the event, so you do not have HIV since your test at 3 and a half months was negative.  It is conclusive.

why I'm still having night sweets and skin eczema ,losing wight despite eating well muscle and joint pain.... my exposure was blood
I don't know why you're having issues.  I only know that it has nothing to do with HIV, since you do not have HIV.

Also, blood outside of the body isn't infectious - only if you share intravenous needles, so you almost certainly didn't even have a risk to start with.
All your symptoms coming from Ebv virus you must do test for it I’m sure 100% you have it forget hiv and enough thinking about it
nope i shared it that is why I'm saying blood
already made the test for ebv igg and igm
