feel like i have caught things my immune system doesnt feel the same
I slept with a girl who I found out was sex worker 6-8 times unprotected. And told me she was hiv+ hsv2 EBV (God knows what else). She also injected and.When I got home first 2 weeks. I had flu like symptoms cough fever night sweats penile yeast infection (penile yeast infection which does not go away with cream. sleepless nights waking up in the mornings with headaches. Then tingling in legs 3rd week 4week hsv2 outbreak. I got tested for chalmydia gohnorrea syphillis hep b c HIV 4 gen test at 2 4 6[p24 antibody test) 8 12weeks all neg.
My question is if 1:
If i have caught HIV infection can tests be negative because my body has not produced the antibodies yet so it could occur later in life?
2: And HIV positive status only means the antibodies are visible in the bloodstream at present time.
3: can you test negative for syphllis at 3 months and still can show up later in life ?
4: I keep having these burning tingles in penis after 6 months And still wake up with headaches in the morning . what could this be? Not in my mind my body never felt like this before. Is my immune system in different ways now?

Yes you might have heard this,it was about 20 years ago in the early 90s,the tests are better now--it doesn't happen anymore--relax now please,you're safe.
Because I have heard people test positive after 13 weeks. Isn't everyone's immune system different?
How can it become positive in the future when you tested negative at 12 weeks?It can't unless you have another risk that is.
Only if you give me your lotto numbers :). Its really worrying does HIV status mean status as in the present time and HIV infection can become positive in the future ?
You got very lucky--your test for HIV at 12 weeks was negative--you don't have HIV.Go and buy a lottery ticket.
