Hiv and nasal congestion/blocked nose

[Hendrick222]

Hi all, i had my possible exposure with unprotected vaginal sex and today is my 11 weeks since my last exposure. I have nasal congestion/blocked nose for about 7 weeks with no mocus and no fever, just blocked nose. I had a fever in the first week for 2 days but could still do some activities and doing sports. And in 9 weeks i had a rapid tests SD Biolne hiv1/2 tests and the result was non reactive. My question is:
1.does ars/hiv primer caused this blocked nose?
2. How accurate my 9 weeks result with rapid rest 3rd gen? Is that possible change at 13 weeks?

I really scared and worried as hell as long waiting my window period! I hope and expacting you guys and doctor could make me feel better thanks!

Symptoms do not mean much. Never focus on symptoms. Your 3rd. Gen test is highly reassuring but not conclusive. Repeat it after 13 weeks of exposure, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life

Don't know about 3 gen but someone else here will. A 4th gen is conclusive at 28 days. Symptoms aren't used to diagnose so you need a conclusive test result for determination of HIV. Try to relax until you get conclusive test or info because nothing is pointing to HIV due to the above. Any test is conclusive after 3 months..

Hey thankyou for the answer :) i just wondering if the blocked nose is a aympt of ars.. because i've never had this. Or could be anxiety caused this?

Since symptoms aren't used to diagnose there can't be an answer to your question.
