It's not HIV, you don't have an HIV concern.
I notice symptoms before i went online..i went and checked after i notice white bumps on lips and i lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks
for 3 months . i have been a nervous wreck, thinking i killed my family on a selfish act... each test that came back negative made me relax a little, but then i would see the symptoms in my family..if it was just me having them..i would think..its just my anxiety over hiv,.. but my eyes don't lie// my daughter even had a rash behind her ears that my wife has on her feet..the light brown spots...now since the 12 week came back..i am just lost with all of this..i am glad its not positive, but if it is..i want the test to show it and not delay..my wife just wants me to forget about it..she wont test a 2nd time..she tested at 6 weeks..neg..i asked he to test at 12, but she said no..i dont want to move on and something bad happen whether hiv or something else.
FROM THE HEALTH PAGES / HIV FORUM
A lot of people have been writing questions about early symptoms of HIV infection. Many of these people do not seem to have any risk for HIV, but may be having some kind of anxiety related to an encounter with a sex worker (or as in the case of question one, a strip club). Most have tested negative for HIV and are beyond the window period. They report a wide array of symptoms, some of them are very severe. I think it is also significant that many of them appear to have been reading a lot about HIV since the incident which caused them to worry. Since these people are HIV negative, it seems logical to see a connection between their anxiety and their learning about HIV symptoms. Some of these correspondents report this connection after reflecting on it. For example, they develop diarrhea the day they read about that particular symptom.
The history of psychoanalysis is full of cases of people with severe physical symptoms which appear to have no organic cause (i.e. their labs are all negative), and which persist until some psychological movement is attained. Some people (called hypochondriacs) have this illness their whole life. They become obsessed with every symptom and continually shop for a doctor who will take their illnesses seriously. The saddest part about this pattern is that, for people who invest a great deal of their identity in being sick (and, as a result, sacrifice a lot of their relationships, time, and emotional energy), it can become very difficult to accept that they are not sick.
That is something you'll need to discuss with your doctor.
Good Evening..I am not doubting the test, that it did not detect the antibodies, but i am just confused with the /weight loss/wasting in all my family... i know stress can cause your own symptoms, but symptom in your family? we all have dark circles around our eyes, loose skin, i feel my leg bone as i speak..what else could this be..what other std ot illness could i pass to my family that can cause this?
Of course it came back negative, you never had an exposure.
