In August 19 the same thing another shoplifter stealing he didn't give the merchandaise back and we ended up in a fight but at this time he hit me with something in my head a ring or jewerly o something that he was wearing, the guy run away, i do not know if that one also had hiv and i didn't see if he was bleeding in the hand with it hit my head,,i think he didn't I was taken to the hospital for be stiched up with 5 staples......AFTER THOSE 2 INCIDENTES i have no had mental peace, becuase i thing i could have the virus for either one of the shoplifters, i went to my doctor in Kaiser permanente in Atlanta and he said it was low exposure and i had a elisa test 7 weeks and 10.6 and 11weeks after, and both came back negatives..can I got those results asa coclusives or i need to be tested more times. I read one post you wrote about the statistics and was very encorage for me, could you posted again and give me and advice please

Not only have I not seen this, neither has anyone else -- at least not since the currently used, modern HIV tests have been in routine use, i.e. over 10 years. Delayed positive results (beyond 6-8 weeks) are so rare they can be considered an urban myth. Your negative result will stand.

Welcome to the HIV forum
You have been through some unpleasant, traumatic adventures -- I hope I never have to face the same sorts of events. But they were extremely low risk events with respect to HIV. More important, your HIV tests prove you were not infected. The tests don't lie, and you can believe the results. You may need help (counseling, whether professional or spiritual) to get through the traumas you have experienced -- PTSD is very real -- but HIV should not be among your concerns.
I hope this helps. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
