how confident should i be in a 77 day elisa test

after having unprotected sex , i came down with rash on hands and legs , got diagnosed with mrsa and sebboreah .   i took a rapid test negative 70 days and and an elisa at 77 day .  Havent felt the same ever since  i read online that both mrsa and sebboreah are usually that of hiv infection.  but i also read that sebboreah can be caused by bacterial infection which mrsa is ..  but im just extremely stressed and dr tried giving me anti depressants and says im negative .  that i should relax

Sorry to hear of your trouble, but its not HIV.  If your ailments were HIV related your test would be positive.  A 77 day test is 11 wks and that is pretty conclusive.

i am a 54 yo female...married 25 years.  if i typed in every ailment / symptom i have...hiv will always come up on google.

i have had mouth ulcers and on and off thrush for 7-8 YEARS.  GOOGLE says i could be in late stage AIDS.  guess what?  I DONT HAVE HIV/AIDS ! ! ! ! !  i am allergic to gluten and wheat products.

so what does that tell you about "symptom searching" on the internet???

MRSA and Sebboreah have nothing to do with HIV.
