I take that back, there is actually no need to post your test results, they will be negative as you've already gotten a conclusive result.  Time for you to move on.

* Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusively negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to action by MedHelp. Conclusively negative results or a no-risk situation will be based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors. Action will be taken as follows:
    * After excessive posting, a warning will be issued by MedHelp
    * Continuing to post regarding the negative result / no risk situation will result in a 3 day suspension
    * Continuing to post upon your return will result in a permanent ban. .

Enough is enough.

If you want to post your results when you get them, that's fine, but we don't have anything else we can add.  Every time you post to your thread, it bumps other people's threads down the page.  Give other people a chance to get THEIR questions answered too.  You've received MORE than your fair share of advice here.

6months:
-wasting your time
-wasting your money
-wasting your moment with your friend
-wasting all your health(stressing can cause damage to your brain if u keep continue stressing for nothing)
-i hope u dont seek help with a mental doctor because is wasting your money,if u can control it just listen to the music,playing a games,hanging out with your friend.
i guess thats my last advice for u.

I agree with rvin86,3 Months is enough,6 Months is outdated.This forum has nothing left to offer you except to say maybe join the OCD forum here at medhelp for your anxiety.

you are over stress about this incident,l guess u have to seek a mental help and starting enjoying your life,i had it once like u 5months with 18 hiv testing with different kit.
believe me testing 3months is enough isnt worth to test at 6month.
i hope u can enjoy your life stop stressing and browsing about hiv.

It doesn't matter,your test results are conclusive and final,you don't have HIV and therefore the symptoms aren't related.
