HIV testing
Hi I had an HIV blood test done in planned parenthood after my first exposure which was 16 weeks after (maybe more) and also it was exactly 6 weeks after the last exposure with the same guy. The test result was negative I know that the window period is 3 months (12 weeks) but since it was just 6 weeks after the last exposure should I get anotherone done? I should mention that right after the test maybe 4-5 days after that I started having itching in my ear the fluid of my ear started coming out ( I had the same thing happening 1 year ago which lasted for months , then went away) this time the same thing happened but I have to add that I got a very small rash outside of my ear canal but still on my ear . I did not have fever . I had diarrhea for 2 days but it was because of my period ( I usually get it when on my period sometimes even before that) . I have been very worried since I got that rash looking like stuff on my ear . Some say I shouldn't worry cause it was after 6 weeks but I don't know , it is the worst feeling ever . I have been very depressed and can't sleep at nights . I have been reading Dr. Edward Hook's post that he said if 6 week test comes out negative it is 95% accurate . Could I belong to that 5 % ?also I forgot to add that I had a belly piercing done about 3 months ago from today . After that blood test I got a rash around my jweley on my skin that lasted about 3-4 days. Agin not sure if its all beacuse of the jwelery or hiv symptoms .please help me ! I would appreciate your kindness . Thank you in advance .
Thank you very much. I will get another test and will update my post . Please pray for me . Hope i am fine .
Thank you very much for your respond . But do u think anyone can get any symptoms after 6 weeks . Since I started getting that itching right after 6 weeks. And the rash is very recent probably due to the itching and my ear fluid that got to different parts of my ear . ( they've been thee for like2 days) which is almost 4 weeks from my test.
A 6 week negative is very good,a 3 month negative is 100% conclusive.Just take the test then.All the best.
Also all other STD tests came out negative. Taken at the same time of the blood test and the urine test at planned parenthood . I am very worried . Jesus can't think of anything. I be been crying like crazy . Please help me .
Sorry my english is not good but I guess u guys call it verginal intercourse ( excuse my spelling if wrong) and unprotected . Here is the rest of the story the guy that I was with was married and I never knew it after his wife found out about it , she made him get a test and when I asked her she said it came out negative which was maybe 1 week before I got my test. Way earlier than that when I met him I made him to take a test with my which came out negative and it was before this test that I told u about and it was 4 months a ago from today.
