Follow up

[text12]

I have gone in for my follow up test in June. June 5 to be exact. My risk was 2 encounters unprotected sex with a woman of unknown status. The last encounter was late January. I had my first Elisa Hiv1/Hiv2 with WB blood test done at Qwest 8-10 weeks after exposure and it came back negative. I had my follow up at LabCorp Hiv1/Hiv2 blood Elisa test done at 4 1/2 months post exposure. I have had symptoms, like weight loss, like of sleep, dry mouth, night sweats, which caused me to get tested in the first place. Can I be conclusive that after my second 4 1/2 month test post exposure that I am ok or do I need to have another test in July, which would be 6 months.

I was not trying to offend anyone. I made a mistake and moving past this has been difficult I still have a metallic taste in my mouth and dry at times, sometimes nausea and hard to get my weight back. I have looked to this forum for support and help about something I know nothing about. I just want closure and once again I am sorry if I did something wrong or broke any rules. I just need to know if I am truly ok, because you see 6 weeks, 3 months and then 6 months to be sure, this is so confusing.

A little worried I tried to think this was over, but I have been having dry mouth, sour metallic taste and white tongue and my taste buds have been off. Also I have been breaking out in my face. After what I posted with a 4 month negative HIV blood test from Labcorp, could I still have a chance this is HIV or am I conclusive negative. My eyes appear dry at times and they burn on the sides where the skin is. I want to move on very bad can someone give me advice.

That was my post I know, I wanted to give full details and ask if I should go and get a 6 month. I value your opinion because you stick by the guidlines. So by your post you believe I am done with this nightmare and tests. Thanks in advance...
