extreemly worried about the symptoms despite negative hiv test.
hi every body.
although i have five negative test, one at 6th week (Elisa third generation), 8th week (p24 antingen), 12th week rapid test (toronto), 14th week (Elisa antibody test), and 15th week rapid test. All came back negative. The elisa test result that i received yesterday were negative, but it has increased my anxiety, because it was written at the bottom of the test results that any one showing persistent symptoms compatible with hiv should retest at the 6 months. and i know most of my symptoms that i am noticing for the last two and a half month include stiff neck (pain in the right side) that goes with NSAIDS, phyrangitis (white shiny spots on the back of the throat), white coating on the tongue (not sure whether it is thrush or not, ithcing aroung the neck and armpits. last week i saw ENT speicalist and he told me that altohg he will see my throat thorugh telescope but my throat seems like an effect of viral infection and suggested me to either visit orthopedics are do some blood work. So can i believe my test results (that i did annoymous) or should i do some more blood work and wait for six months. Although i have almost all other symptoms but i did not noticed any fever and during these three and a half month i constantly moniotored my temperature that was around 35 to 36C. Moreover in janunary 2008 after 3 weeks of the possible exposure i was feeling burning sensation at the top of my hand and foot, for which i was tested and found to be vitamin b12 deficient. is my symptoms are related to hiv or related to anxiety and b12 deficiency. please help thanks

Thanks Teak for your ecouraging comments, but i remember when in january i posted my symptoms, you commented that your symptoms are related to ARS. so if i do not have hiv what causes the symptoms. Will you suggest me an PCR test, but i think in canada my family physician will not recommend me an PCR test if the Elisa test is negative.
