You do not need to test at 6MONTH because it,s outdated.How many more tests do you want to have?STOP reading rubbish on the net that says test at 6months,a year,10years,it,s all nonsense.3months is the conclusive hiv window period,full stop.If you can,t except that then you got problems.

As you were told many time by the experts here, you do not have HIV. Your tests are conclusive and final. If you want to continue with your tests, it is your money and time, if you want to waste them, what an expert here can do about?

You will continue to get a negative report, because you do not have the virus and its counter antibodies. However if you keep testing, one day you might get a false positive report and then you can well imagine, what will be your state of mind at that time.

Seek medical help for your symptoms, illness, certainly not due to HIV.

Dear Medhelp Experts,

This is my 24th week since last encounter in October.The last test i took at 138 days.I am very very afraid.The main reason is pain still there in  both elbows and joint pain in legs and dizziness..Though i have taken 11 tests, i am planning for another one in couple of days time but i am terribly afraid of taking tests again just wanted test at six months mark...Dont know what to do.If not HIV problem then why these elbow pain and dizziness???Neck pain was there but it has suddenly vanished..Dont know why?Any inputs please...
