Teak sorry last quest
Only authorized commentators may respond.
Ok, so this is what happened. A close friend, Who I trust, works at the doctor's where I did my previous physical and blood exam (last time was April 2010. I told her my situation. She assists the doctor everyday. Well I was very scared to go to the doctors so we met at my aunts house at 7:00 pm. And she took my blood out. I sam sure she took the blood to her home and to the clinic on the following morning. She told me she was going store it in refrigeration at her home.
On march 29, 2011 around it was picked up by the laboratory. It is legit laboratory in Los Angeles.
Me being anxious she called the lab on march 30, 2011 to fax over the results. It was four pages worth, I have the papers.
They did various tests, some which showed pending.
My WBC was 12.3!
As far as stds is concerned:
Test. Normal/abnormal. Reference range
Syphilis screen serology. Non reactive. Non reactive.
The most important:
HIV I/II screen. *PENDING*. NON Reactive
The lab sheet read:
"This is a screening test only, confirmatory test is required for all reactive results.
This test is performed using the Siemens ADVIA Centaur CHEMILUMINESCENCE assay. Currently available assays for the detection of antibodies to HIV -1 and / or HIV - 2 may not detect all infected individuals. A non reactive test result does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with HIV. HIV antibodies may be undetectable is some stages of infection and in some clinic conditions"
Well I know here my HIV test is pending. My friend told me that she is not worried because, if the lab would have found something that needed immediate attention they would have notified the clinic immediately.
The next day on march 31, 2011, she got another faxed report that replaced the word "*Pending*" to "NON REACTIVE"
A couple of other like glucose still showed pending.
I was worried about the antibodies disappearing if the blood was no good to test, because she took to her home. She told me not to worry whatsoever, because if the blood she took in a blood tube was not any good to test, then laboratory would have requested another blood sample and would have noted it on the LAb report. She did this as personal favor to me.
I also have the report that says that I am HIV non reactive (both in the normal abnormal and reference range).
She showed the report to doctor, and he said that meant I was negative.
The report date collected 3/29/2011, date received 3/30/11, date reported 3/31/2011.
I guess I should be happy, I guess what worries me is the bump that I got on my penis at about five weeks, that lasted for a week. It started leaving after two days after I stretched it and cleaned it with water. It was circular/ oval and slightly raised. The bump was veer soft. About 1 cm in diameter. It seemed like it wanted to take a chancre shape but did not. It came back a week later and left in two days. It left a pin size bump but it is not there any more.
I never had scaly or peeling skin on my penis head. But my outer foreskin is very soft. It has at times a baby power feel to it. There is like dust or powder on it at times. Dead skin?
Well. I am afraid that I have syphilis and if syphilis then HIV.
My testicles hurt very little at times, but my prostate area sometimes shakes.
I guess I have to see the doctor because of prostate. Doctor wants to see me because of slight inflammation of liver. But there was no visible blood between me and csw! So know I am thinking hep c and HIV.
My incident occurred November 20, 2010.
Should I be happy with test results?
I POSTED THIS EXACT POST IN AIDS MEDS FORUM *******.
THEY TOLD ME I DONT HAVE HIV! AND THAT IT IS NO SUPRISE BECAUSE I HAD NO RISK. MY INCIDENT OCCURRED NOV 20, 2010. DO YOU AGREE? CAN I LEAVE THIS BEHIND ME?

Should I accept test results at 4 months 1 week. I was afraid antibodies would have disappeared between the time blood was taken and test, maybe a day and half? Should I accept non reactive result.
Now you are making me feel like you are hiding something. Should I accept results?

I have a lot of respect for that forum. I am very grateful for their services, I respect Andy and Ann. I will follow their rules. I am glad you read the post. My only question is do you agree with Ann' s comment and can I move on? I would appreciate your comment please. I want to move on.
I know exactly what you were told in that forum.
You also received the following.
I'm giving you that time out you've been warned about. Do not attempt to create a new account to get around your time out because if you do, you will be permanently warned.

Well the final statement that Ann at aids meds forum was that I don't have HIV, it was no surprise (reference to test) because I had no risk. Do you agree with non reactive results at 4 months 1 week based on above first post. I put the exact same thing in aids meds forum.
I know you are good at analyzing risk. My question is do you agree with the final test result being non reactive based on the above original post?
It was over four months ago.

What part of you didn't have a risk is it you don't understand? If two forums have advised you of the same thing and you have to continue to ask the same questions, then you need to seek out professional mental help.
So do you agree with good folks at aids meds that I do not have HIV and that it is no surprise of final test results being non reactive ( abnormal/ normal section and range)? Incident occurred nov 20, 2010.
I know you said no risk, just answer above please.
