HIV Risk ???

Hi Iam 27 years Male...

Thanks for this forum...it really helping people...

On March 20th I had protected sex ( condomn quality not known) and unprotected oral sex.
About April 1st I had unprotected oral sex.
On April 22nd I had feeling like flu,and brown dots on palms,mild fever, dry cough,little pain below arm pits (both)
On May 1st ( 6 weeks sex / 4 weeks oral )  I got negative result.But I had 2 abnormalities in blood test ..Billirubin level is high and RBC in urine... is this related to infection ?

These symptoms relieved after 2 weeks ( May 4th--with our medicine) ..on 3rd week (I mean now) iam having muscle pains,joint pains ( very shorter duration)  and lot of pain back of my neck .

I am confused , symptoms start on 5th week  and contnuing to 8thweek?

How much is reliable  my 6 weeks  result for vaginal  / 4 weeks oral  ??

pls help...Iam in the hell for the last 3 weeks..

Thanks

For the last time...you did not have a risk, you never required testing.

I don't know why you are getting a WB test?  That is not the appropriate testing.  A WB is used as a confirmatory test after a pos or inconclusive ELISA result.  It makes no sense to have a WB by itself.

Your 8 week negative is proof you didn't get HIV.  If you are really having a hard time moving on...then test again (ELISA) at 3 months post the exposure.

Quit searching the web, you will drive yourself mad.  HIV symptoms are consistent with just about a million other common causes, one of them being anxiety.

You did NOT have a risk, and the sooner you quit worrying about it, the sooner your "symptoms" will go away!

Condom protected sex does not pose a risk, nor does oral sex.  You were never at risk.

Your post was read.

of course i read your entire post ! ! !

protected sex is protected sex and oral sex does not pose a risk for infection.

whatever symptoms you are having are NOT hiv related...more than likely anxiety induced.  pretty sure all your symptoms "appeared" after reading about them on the internet.

you do not need further testing.

You were never at risk. Had the condom failed you would have known.
