HIV or what??!!
i was exposed to hiv after having unprotected sex with a philipina sex workers last year during a business trip to singapore then i came back to Kuwait. i never tested till earlier this year (9 months after the unprotected incident) after i came with all the bad symptoms which i still have till today and the tests came back negative(DUO, antibody and pcr rna), so since the girls was from asia can this be a new strain which cant be detected with the modern tests?
Best Answer
You're not paying attention,those tests you had will detect all strains including HIV2 which is extremely rare anyway.Move on now.
Not even HIV2, do you recommend me to go to HIV 2 PCR test or a western blot to make sure it is not hiv causing my symptoms and start looking for another reason?
Teak but the symptoms are real and i am not making them and what scared me is that in the doctors forum they say that such rare strains do exist?
