Testing Question DNA?

So everyone on here has said even with the syptoms I have been having I had no risk, Thank you again for  helping. I spoke wth my Dr. today because I m going nuts about this he also pretty much concured that a few of the people on this sight are very knownledgeable about certain topics.

My question today is the Dr. suggested if I wanted to take a test that checks my DNA for expousure he could?  Does anyone have information on that? I told him I would think about it. I keep reading through the blogs and the test things are confusing to me. Is there a artical somewhere on this?

Thanks

you have been assessed as not having a risk of contracting hiv.  your "symptoms" are NOT hiv related.

Thanks Vance- This forum is great its crazy how this fear has made my life so upside down lately.  I am so full of fear I  dont want to go to the tests he is requesting. I may wait three months and do it anonymously somewhere  I am so scared.  I took the afternoon off to nap. Someone said all symptoms if someone shows them come all at once ? is that true do you know?  God Bless and Im sure someone is going to get mad at me for posting again, just you guys are such a valuable insight and helpful to me.

I think your Dr was doing it for more of a peace of mind thing for you then anything else.
