is there need for more testing?
I have been experiencing a variety of symptoms that have lasted about 4 or 5 weeks. Sneezing,coughing, headaches and such. My doctor says its not a cold because its lasting more than the average week so he has treated me for allergies. I have also been having gastrointestinal problems bloating, lots of gas, mild stomach aches but no diarrhea with the exception of 1 time. Along with an ache in my left thigh. I decided to go get tested for hiv because I have never been tested, so I took 3 clearview rapid hiv tests that all came back negative. The last time I put myself at risk was over a year and four months ago when I ha unprotected sex. Should I still be concerned because of my symptoms and get further testing done? Or are these 3 tests conclusive enough?

YOUR TEST IS CONCLUSIVE. You don't have HIV.

What if the last at risk encounter I had was a one night stand with an HIV positive woman? With no use of condoms and I'm uncircumcised?

Is there a possibilty that those 3 tests provided a false negative result? Maybe they didn't pick something up since all 3 tests where of the same kind and maybe a different test will pick something up?
Your 1 year and four months negative result outweights all the headaches, coughing and etc... so called symptoms you have in mind. No need for any hiv tests
