hi All
I've been tested out to 11 months post exposure with my ex girlfriend. Ive been tested about 12 times, last with a rapid unigold finger ***** which all have been negative. Most tests were rapids, but I also did a DNA PCR at day 40, a regular ELISA at about 4 weeks and a home access test at 2 and a half months. All the others were rapid tests from different sites and manufacturers (been tested with clearview, oraquick and unigold). All negative.
I had rash for about 6 weeks, sinus infection, swollen adenoids which I had removed, dry mouth, and swollen neck lymph nodes. The nodes are still a bit swollen, but i ALWAYS prod at them.
Am I ok?

hhhuuummmmm
No buts. You don't have HIV.
Of course it will be difficult to 'let go' if you have been perseverating over a disease for 11 months. You need to do what you need to do to get over it.

You have tested too much, and too long, you dont have HIV, what you have is something a lot more easy to catch, and very very common almost 30% of worlwide people have it, and its called OCD.HIV FEAR, I`m a very sad case of it, you cant by more negative than you are, 11 months, Please be objective, it odesnt matter what symptoms you have, they wont be ralated to hiv, no way no how, please seek help for your anxiety, life is too short to lost it being worried about something you don have, read my testimony, and you will find a lot of similar things, and how dumb it sounds to continue worried after you know you dont have HIV.
Best of luck to you, I really hope you can move on.

Give it up already, you dont have HIV.
are you guys sure?
I am trying!
Just as accurate as an ELISA. It didnt show at 11 months because you dont have HIV. You can test positive for something you dont have. Get over it already and stop obsessing over it please. You are being irrational, you have been tested out to 11 months 12 different times. Even if the accuracy of the tests were 90% accurate you still would have showed up positive after taking so many damn tests. But the tests are 99.9% accurate once out of the 3 month window. Move on with your life.
more accurate than an ELISA?
what if it hasnt been detected after 11 mos?
Well thats not the case, the rapid finger stick and the oral swab tests are acccurate and approved screening tests.
someone else on the forums said she read they were less accurate
They arent, where the hell did you hear that from? They are approved and accurate.
so why are rapids less accurate
Move on be Medhelp helps you move on. You are conclusively negative. "Read the guidelines at the top of the page."
12 negative tests (including 1 PCR) all the way out to 11 months is 100% proof you dont have HIV.
Why are you still worrying about it? Sounds like you might need some counseling because this phobia is stilla round after all the negatives.
FYI rashes were around many years before HIV was and rashes wills till be around when HIV is eradicated someday.

HOW WHY
Because if you had contracted HIV, you would have almost certainly tested positive within three months, and the PCR test would have detected some level of detectable virus. At the very longest, if you had some other weird underlying condition, it could have taken longer than three months for you to test negative, but no more than six months. You are at eleven months and continue to test negative; hence, you don't have HIV, regardless of your symptoms. Congratulations, now move on with your life.
but i was on high potent topical steroids for a week-2 weeks at the beginning for my rash?
You tested out to 11 months and a conclusive result is 3 months.
with a rapid unigold at planned parenthood
how could I be so sure? My exposure was my ex who used to be with an IDU. She tested negative 2 months or so post our relationship.
You don't have HIV if that is what you are asking.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
