Testing Time

I tested -ve at 19 weeks post my exposure using aproper test (ELISA)  but i still suffer from symptoms like pains and aches in my thighs and abdomen and from a very dry mouth.

I am planing to test at 6 months  given that i still suffer from symptoms what are the chances that my test is going to turn +ve? ( I read in the archives of this forum that 3 months is 99% accurate)

Hi,

I tested -ve at 3 months and everyone incl. Teak assured me I was negative and just got reply back saying that I don't need to go for 6 month test...coz these days the technologies/equipment are advanced...old days required 6 months.

I have weakness in legs/thighs also and knees crack also + phlegm and floaters....but none are to HIV.....just relax.

Regards,
FWK

HIV is not your problems. You have a conclusive negative test. If you have symptoms see your doctor they are unrelated to HIV.
