TEAK and rhe experts please help

dear all good day to you , yesterday i finished my 90 days period and i went to do my HIV TEST . i couldn't wait no longer. thank god the test came back negative it was (Elecsys 2010 Combi PT- ECLIA) test which is a Combo test searching for both Ab/Ag the result was 0.32 non reactive . before i ask my question i just want to remind you with my previous tests :
        1  -Antibodies test -3 days later onit was negative (I know it was in vain).
        2- HIV1+HIV2 (Ab + AG) test (Elecsys 2010 Combi PT- ECLIA)-10 days after exposure .it was negative (0.07).
        3 -Hiv1-2 abs+p24 AG (CMIA).21 days after exposure . non reactive (0.08 s/co).
        4 -Hiv1-2 PCR RNA..21 days after exposure . not detected
        5 - HIV1+HIV2 (Ab + AG) test (Elecsys 2010 Combi PT- ECLIA)-70 days after exposure it was negative (0.25).
       6 - HIV1+HIV2 (Ab + AG) test (Elecsys 2010 Combi PT- ECLIA)-90 days after exposure .it was negative (0.32).


now these are my questions :
1- do all these tests valid ? specially the one at the 90 days?
2- do i have to test again at the 6 month point?
3- i noticed that my test result value is increasin from 0.07 to (0.08) to (025) to (0.32) , do i have to worry about this increment??
4- even after these tests my neck is killing me and i feel like there is some kind of swelling in my lymph nodes ,with some rashes and brown spots on my back and shoulder , do you think that i might have HIV while still getting negative results ? or these symptoms as started after 6 weeks is too late to start and stay up to 13 weeks?

waiting for your kind response ,please help me am really in need

thanks ...

Hi Shadowdany,

If you had Duo/ Combo test after 28 days and it was negative, that would be conclusive. The fact that you have had all these test's and at 90 days means that you are without a doubt,
negative. You, of course have every right to go back to your clinic, but I would be careful what you say, as I doubt very much they would appreciate it, if you said you think, they have lied to you.
We on this site can only give you the fact's.
The fact's are: Duo/ Combo 28 day's Conclusive result.
Antibody Test: 84 day's Conclusive result.
You ARE negative.

Dear Sharkboy67

am really thankful for your kind answer , but you know as bad as you want to believe that negative answer but you cant just easily believe at . my mind could not let it go that easy . and every time i try one symptoms show up ,hhhhhhhh i really don't know if it's for real or it just my mind and my body playing games with me .. i even started thinking that the lab where i did my test they just lied to me and they did not do the test they just faked the result ..that how i think right now ..

now it is the day 93 and i got diarrhea and bumps keep on showing on my arms .. i really don't know what to do . i even think to go and do another test ....just wish me luck

Dear Shadowdany,

Answers to your questions.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Means nothing. Just technical data. You are negative.
4. You have had a horrible few months. As you have got all stressed up about the situation, your body has reacted to it.
If symptoms persist, see your Doctor.
It has nothing to do with HIV.
Again your negative results MEAN you are negative. Good luck, take care and enjoy life.
