False Negative after 7 months?

[azim2010]

Ok back in December of 2007 I had unprotected sex and around the end of April of 2008 I started to have some pain on my left side of my abdomen and a little warm to the touch. That went away after 2-3 days and then I started to have fatigue, pain in my under arms and groin, and a dry stuffy nose. The pain in my groin went away after about a week and a half and the fatigue was about two weeks. I still have the pain and discomfort in my underarms and dry stuffy nose. The pain in my underarms would go away if I changed deodorant but come back a few days later. It would also go away if I did not use any or only have mild discomfort if I would use it twice a week instead of every day. Around the end of July I bought a Home Access HIV-1 test and it came back negative. It was 7 months (215 days or just a little over 30 weeks) after my unprotected sex. Around Feb of this year my left pinky and ring finger had this tingling in it and sometimes it would go all the way up to my elbow. It lasted about 2 weeks and has all but gone away. Some days I do have a little tingling in the tip of my pinky finger but it never lasts long.To this day I still have the pain in my under arms, but it is nowhere near as bad as it was when I first started all this and still have the dry stuffy nose. Could this still be HIV related even though I tested negative that far after unprotected sex?

Well the lady that gave me my result on the phone from Home Access said that I should get tested again at 9 months even though I tested negative.

I also find it odd that on here people are told one thing but that if you go to the CDC or call them that they are told something different.

Continuing to post regarding the negative result

How am I posting excessively when I have made a total of 5 posts (counting this one). It is not like I am on here every day asking the same question like some people or people that keep bumping their post to the top.

I just asked a simple question and wanted to see what other people have to say about it. Like if it is not HIV what else does it sound like it could be?

Oh and also I have been having some kind of sores in my nose

[azim2010]

I know you said to move on that I do not have an HIV concern but more things have been showing up.

I have had a dry stuffy nose now for 18 months and my forehead is dry and flaky. Also I have a canker sore. Plus I have had a few brownish red spots in my mouth around the same area. I really kind of put aside the whole being HIV + till I came down with the canker sore as I don't ever remember having one before and seeing as I still have been having the sinus problems my mind has started to wonder back to this possibility.

In my opinion, you just pay attention to every little thing. it can due to anxiety, or maybe IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or thousands of things! dont get stuck on HIV and try to move on.

what else could it be?

Move on.  You don't have an HIV concern.
