Can a person think they were exposed to hiv 26 years ago. In 1995 i think i was exposed to hiv have lots of different symptoms. Finally in 2020 went and got tested with 4th generation laboratory test plus went to 7 different clinics and had 7 rapid hiv antibodies test all came back negative. Can i be an elite controller or i waited too long to get tested now these tests cant find the virus. My white blood count normal also.

Oh boy.  1995!  I think you are good.  Symptoms of HIV are such that you are likely applying random things that would normally happen to people to being related to HIV.  Over the course of 26 years!  Your 7 tests are accurate. Move on.  You do not have hiv.

But you may very well have something else.  I would say, after 26 years, docs would probably diagnose from symptoms but if you had it that long and were untreated and still alive you would be a major news story.

That is a tragic tale of wasted time caused 100% by self-diagnosing without any medical training.
You never had hiv and each of the 8 tests have proven it. hiv docs can't diagnose from symptoms so no one here pays attention to them either. Therefore you have wasted 26 years trying to do an impossible diagnosis from symptoms. Seek therapy for your hiv fixation or talk to your doctor.
