Exposure to hiv ?

[Worrieddron]

Since the exposure from week three

Had urithritus (puss only) diagnosed treated
Flu symtoms started and still persist at week 7 firey throat since week three. Massive glands in neck like grapes but hard. Still having uti, s but docs camnot find anything , thrush on tongue and feel it in my ausophagus. Earache.
Reallly dizzy tired plus not eating

I know it pointless listing symptoms but they are so strong , prolonged, and coinsidental its unreal..

I had duo tests done at

21
30
42
49 (7weeks)

Are these reliable even with these strong symptoms i am going to re test at guidline times even though conservative iv been told but i just need advice in this predicament


Thank you

Thank you Doctor I'm listening too you and taking your professional opinion. If one was going through seroconversion since week three surely week seven it would show up ?

My GP has examined me and confirmed swollen glands and some type of viral infection in my throat.
Also im having bloods taken next week for glandular fever but I'm sure I've already had this before.
Im really worried by this and no matter what i try i cant shake it..

Thank you

Obviously you are not listening to what I've said. This is my last reply.

Your tests prove that you did not acquire HIV from your exposure. Your tests prove this.  That your symptoms have persisted since week three is further proof that your symptoms are not HIV. The symptoms of recently acquired HIV typically last less than a week and certainly less than two weeks.

Please accept that you did not get HIV from the exposure you are concerned about and instead of wasting your time worrying about HIV, use it to find out what is really happening and why you feel poorly.  To do this you should work with a trained clinician who can see you and exaamine you in person.

This concludes this thread.  EWH

These symptoms have been occurring since week three doctor and are still having a really strong effect on my body and mind.. I have no daily routine anymore jus to try and get better..
Nearly four weeks after they started they are still here and very real..
I dont know if my immune system is weak and not producing enough detectable antibodies ?
Either way can we really exclude hiv ? If so have you any suggestions what this might be ?  

I Look forward to your pro reply..

Thank you doctor

The seroconversion symptoms do not occur more than 6 weeks after an exposure.  You are not going through seroconversion.

DUO tests of the sort you have had repeatedly provide conclusive results at any time beyond 4 weeks following an exposure.  EWH

Ive realised what you mean now i had a telephone consultation with dr jose..

Is 7 weeks long enough even though i mite still be going through seroconversion ?
Thanks again doc
Ive never felt like this in my life please excuse me..  I need your pro oppinion on the 7 weeks or have u ever experienced a test took at such times change in future testing related to a single exposure ?

Welcome to our Forum.  I note that in your comments on the HIV community site that you mention that you also interacted with Dr. Jose (I presume on the international Forum.) If so, you must be using a different name on the International site.  We request that clients not do this.

As for your symptoms and tests, your repeated tests effectively rule out the possibility of HIV.  My advice would be not to test further for HIV but to work on searching for other causes.  EWH
