What should i do?....
Hi friends of the forum:
I know I said I was going to be gone for awhile but i have no else to speak to...tomorrow will be my 8TH WEEK possible post exposure, tested 7TH WEEK NEG-RAPID BLOOD TEST, and i do see my Doctor tomorrow to see if all my symptoms are hiv ARS or hiv anxiety/stress related..should I just stick to the plan and test at 12th weeks or should I test tomorrow and wait for the results. For the last 10 days i've developed sweaty armpits w/slight pain, stiff neck, possible lymph nodes are swelling now, headaches, and possible cold sores forming, w/slight nausea this morning. Each week when I developed a symptom i went right away and got tested for HIV and all stds, all neg when i got the muscle aches, 2 night sweats, sensitive skin/burning feeling,nauseau, joint pain, sweating and hugh pimples on back & buttucks-i haven't got a thefever or rash yet, the highest twas 98.8-9. What should I do??? Thank you all for opinions and thoughts, i'm also in the anxiety community and they said i should address my new concerns here. Please bear w/me as I have no one else to talk to.

thanks snippet for the encouragement,.you guys are all helping me get thru this window period...everything little bit helps, You'll all be at the finish line with me come May 5th no matter what. :)
You don't have HIV Tony. It's EXTREMELY rare for someone to seroconvert after 6 weeks.
i know its very hard, but you have to look for the positive things, like your 7 week test that in very encouraging, and if you want to shorten your wait wy dont you contact that partner and ask him to have a test together, if he test negative know and tell you which was his last exposure you can close this anxiety right know.
good luck (and forget about symptoms)

yeah don't worry. At 7 weeks 95% of tests are positive so it is very rare you will be positive after this.
