Past Symptoms

On June 23rd i had a cold nd rashes on my armpit, nd a small sore on my penis, it got cured wen the doctor gave me some ointments, i asked the doctor if the armpit growth is an enlarged lymphnode, he said no, nd for the penis sore, he said it s cuz for the penadol tablet i took for the cold, there was no fever. abt armpit growth, he said it is cuz of the climate change, it s very hot here.

Also i have white coating on my tongue, it has been there for more 1 year now, am using a scraper nw, which takes it of

Current Symptoms

no need to test out to 6 months it is a waste of testing and time 3 months is conclusive end of story

[LIZZIE LOU]

3 months is conclusive...NOT 6 MONTHS.

Your symptoms came on to late to be related to HIV. If you tested past 11 weeks and recieved a negative test result, you are conclusively negative. Just for your information there is no AIDS virus. The HIV virus is what progresses to advance HIV diseases (AIDS).

Thank you for the reply, i have scheduled my nxt test on 14th Aug, 08.

now,

i tested first time after 11 weeks after the complete exposure [which wat am worried of], i got negative, my symptoms started after the this test, before i had no symptoms. i have read that, aids virus symptoms show up after 2-4 weeks of the exposure.

is that possible to have symptoms so late ?

you should test 3 months after the last unproteced sexual exposure. you test was nearly 8 weeks past the last unprotected exposure adn it was -ve which is very incouraging becuase aat this time 95% of the people who are infected test +ve. test again at the 12 week mark and get you conclusive results. ( whish you the best)
