4 weeks negative is promising as u still dont have hiv...6 weeks negative is 98% conclusive (thats what the doc told me last time when i collected my 7 weeks)..3 months is the final test u need to take to confirm everything..now coming to symptoms..they will kill u..i know its hard to forget them..sometimes u will be fine and at other times..they will haunt u...i am myself running to my doc later today cause i found some kind of balck spot underneath my eyes(besides all the other symptoms i have already)...i believe u sud keep urself bury..then u will 4 get bout the symptoms..i have a wife..and since yesterday she had diarhea..and this is haunting me now....

Also, tingling in the arm and feet has nothing to do with HIV ARS, it's an anxiety symptom.

You can't indicate HIV with the help of symptoms, they just mean NOTHING, if you had a potential exposure, you need to get a confirmatory test at the 12th week.

Your 6 weeks negative is very very unlikely to change.
