Hiv Positive after negative results! Please Help.
Dear Sirs,
I am really scared that i read a positive man's story on internet.
Here it's:
"I didn't have any illness between my last HIV- test in june 2006 and my HIV+ test in october 2006.
That said, I still think I had an HIV related illness, but before. In early 2006 I had many sex partners, but always safe - or so I thought. I tested HIV negative in early march 2006.
In april 2006 - I had very bad vomitting for several nights long. My throat was hurting like hell and I could barely drink, let alone eat. I became very dehydrated and lost about 10 lbs in a week. I was tested for and diagnosed with strep throat. After I got antibiotics, the illness went away. This was a very bad illness and I have never had anything like it before. That's when I believe my seroconversion illness happened.
2 months later, in late june 2006, I was diagnosed with chlamydia. I retested for HIV, but I still tested negative.
In late october 2006, I tested positive during my routine annual physical. And I had a very low viral load (598).
I think my illness in april was related to HIV infection. I don't know if it's proper to call it "seroconversion illness" since I still tested HIV- over 10 weeks after it. According to current scientific views, I should have tested positive after it if this was a seroconversion illness. So maybe it should have another name. But I still think I was infected already by then, and that this illness was related to HIV - it was not just a plain strep throat."
IS IT POSSIBLE!
You always say here, it's not possible to get a positive result after 3 months HIV negative result!
There are also some other stories on internet ( a very strong forum commumities about HIV + and AIDS)
Here others:
"I was the sickest I've ever been. I woke up one morning and just couldn't move. The doc came to see me, took some bloods and they came back as positive for mono and CMV. Apparently my white blood cells looked bad as well - I asked 'could HIV cause that?' (I knew I had put myself at risk), they did a HIV test but that was negative. I then spent 8 weeks off work sick. I had chronic diarrhea, lost 34% of my body weight, suffered nightsweats, joint pains, fever, fatigue, headaches, couldn't eat anything, tonsillitis and came out in a rash all over my body which didn't itch. About the only thing I didn't get was a cold! I just had no energy to do anything. I'd get help into the shower and just curl up and cry. I eventually got out to hospital and tested positive for HIV, secondary syphilis, chlamydia and giardia. This all started Feb 08. I've now had to start meds because my bloods never recovered from seroconversion and they should have done well before now"
"My seroconversion actually happened a year before i was actually diagnosed as being hiv positive.
I had been sick for over two weeks with a high fever, it stayed at around 101-102 even with taking huge doses of tylenol, I was working a double shift at the prison and i told my LT. i had to leave and couldnt stay. i went to the dr and they ran test after test after test on me. In the end they diagnosed me with CMV...but hiv negitive. The dr's were puzzled because CMV in adults is extremely rare, usually only occuring in people with compromised immune systems.
A year later i took a hiv test and it came back positive. My Dr think's that my CMV episode was actually the hiv going through my body but it didnt show up at that time...
Now 3.5 years from the initial CMV i am overall doing well. No meds as of yet. I had one huge ordeal with MRSA staph infection on the back of my neck, which spread to my face where i had to have a plastic surgeon remove the build up of infection from my face...luckily i made it through this"
"Summer of 2005. I knew I had done some risky/stupid sexual stuff in the spring. I began running a fever, swollen lymph nodes and so tired I couldn't complete a shower. I went to my MD, he drew blood (I told him of my risky behavior) and it came back HIV-. But my platelets were dangerously low. So he sent me to a Hematologist thinking I had leukemia. The Hematologist drew a HIV viral load which came back over 200K.
But there was no diarrhea, no GI upset and no rash. Strange how differently people react to the virus."

No.
Read every post here with regards to symptoms. Not everyone with HIV gets symptoms, and those that do sometimes only get the equivalent of a cold.
While some of these "seroconversion illnesses" sound very serious, they cannot be due to HIV. Seroconversion is the bodily process of producing antibodies. After seroconversion one would test HIV positive due to the presence of antibodies.
Your 5 month test is conclusive. Your negative result is not going to magically change.
