Very real exposure/ bad symptoms
So I had an exposure 6 months ago! Unprotected sex with pos woman. Of course at the time I did not know her status. She is from Asia also.. 3 weeks after exposure I had rashes joint pains and nausea.. I felt so bad for weeks.. I somehow got ahold of this woman and she admitted to me she was hiv + but was to scared to tell me.
I flipped out, got tested at 12 weeks with elisa and 14 weeks with the 4th gen. Also at 24 weeks I got another elisa because symptoms started again with red lesions on my scalp and chest. Also sore throat that won't go away and thrush on my penis.. This all points to weakened immune system.
I know seronegative is possible because I have read studies on it..
Have you guys seen or heard about people with negative duo test and being positive?
Should I take an rna test?? Please help me I'm dieing with symptoms. These lesions are horrible looking and I'm nausea all the time and I tried cream for the thrush but it keeps returning..

"I'm so severely depressed right now. These symptoms just keep comming, and I just know the next time I go to test it will be positive."
No it ain't sure at all!
You tested at 12, 14 and 24 weeks .
Symptoms mean squat as far as HIV is concerned. You're negative! The tests as you had prove that beyond any doubt.
Something is surely going on but sure as hell it ain't HIV !

When is everyone going to get the message?It's experts vs community views that is confusing the hell out of posters,surely it's time to address this issue.I mean who are the poor posters supposed to believe.?
We can't tell you anything different. You refuse to believe the scientific facts. There's not much we can do about that. Post in the expert forum (for a small fee) and maybe THEY can reassure you:

Teak and I are both very informed about HIV and have experience dealing directly with it. You are convinced you're infected because the FEAR is consuming you. You had a scary exposure, which has obviously caused you a lot of anxiety. Anxiety itself can cause MANY very real physical symptoms. As a result of your anxiety, you cannot accept the scientific proof that you're not infected.
I would recommend seeking professional help for your anxiety. You don't need any further HIV testing.

Thanks for the answers.
I'm so severely depressed right now. These symptoms just keep comming, and I just know the next time I go to test it will be positive.
One more post. Would someone with experience answer..
Have you ever seen or heard of someone having this skin condition as I do (red lesions that scab over and take at least 2 weeks to heal) as one of the ars symptoms but not go away ? Can a hiv skin condition come on at 3 weeks post infection and still be around at 7 months? Oi don't come this early ?

To be infected with hiv and not show up on the test would mean your immune system would have to be so bad you would have died from something else by now. There is NO WAY you have hiv. Your symptoms are not even typical of ars anyway.
I suggest you get to a doctor and find out what is the REAL cause of your symptoms.

The fact is you do not have HIV and the symptoms you are having are not related to ARS,
I know that there are ao many facts and studies done to say that 99% of people will have had positive test by now. But the fact is nothing is 100%. And I know you guys gets tons of questions on here of people saying they think they have hiv, but I'm almost 100% I do..
I had unprotected with pos woman , and then to have these symptoms, is no coincidence... I have read real stories of people who have factual dates of testing out of window period in modern day who come up positive..
You guys must at some point believe that it can't be 100% accurate for everyone in regards to testing.
I really feel like ****.. No energy, and skin is ever changing everyday. People ask me what these lesions are on my skin, and I don't have an answer. Thrush on my penis has not gone away after creams. And swollen lymph node in groin is still hard...
Wouldn't an pcr rna give me a definitive answer now? I'm just trying to protect myself and my new girlfriend..

The official testing guidelines are 3 months. MOST newly infected people test pos very quickly, because modern tests are very sensitive. You have tested negative out to 6 months, you do not have HIV. You did not get HIV from your positive partner, which is hard to believe for people who aren't educated about HIV, but an informed person wouldn't be surprised. HIV is not an easy virus to transmit.
If you feel ill, see your doctor, it has nothing to do with HIV.
You got lucky, from now on, use condoms for any vaginal/anal sex.

Because we give you facts, what more do you want then you don't have HIV and tests prove it.
It was negative 5 times out to 6 months. All elisa and a duo test at 14 weeks . Still negative...
Today I woke up with a red lesion on my penis, everyday it's another lesion somewhere new on my body... This is an oi or somthing please give me a more elaborate answer instead of generic.. I am nausea all the time.. I can't believe these results. I didn't have anxiety until symptoms came...
What % just can't make antibodies for so long?? I'm begging here.. I don't want to infect someone else

You don't have HIV which means the symptoms you think you have, have nothing to do with HIV.
Teak nothing to elaborate? I have read very real articles on this. I know that most people will have pos antibody by now, but there is a small % who take longer.
