[ihopeimmad]

i took my final test (18 weeks) but lab said sample is missing.no question only comments

[ihopeimmad]

i will call tomorrow to the lab and ask them. thanx guys and sorry if i'm tiring but believe me 2 months now i am exhausted and today was a very bad day.

but for example the triad symptom according to doctors are always present,   I don't know WHAT doctors you are talking to, but they are incorrect.  PLENTY of newly infected people never have one symptom. Even if you DID have symptoms, you would still have to test anyway to find out your status, right?  

is it possible that they lost it or they are so stupids and dont say that is positive and want to confirm?  HUH?  If your test was positive, they would have told you and ordered a confirmation test.  Clinic don't lie to people to save their feelings...that's just silly.

my questions are posted later from your answers.and please believe me i respect the work you do here.but for example the triad symptom according to doctors are always present, is it possible that they lost it or they are so stupids and dont say that is positive and want to confirm?

That is total BS. Your 1st test is conclusive and you need test for your 2nd exposure.

[ihopeimmad]

for teak. but the doctors insist on the triad. is not always?

[Teak]

You are not pay any attention and you're wasting our time. You had two expososures. the first one you have a conclusive test result and then in april you had a condom failure and you need tested for it. I don't see what is so hard for you to comprehend.

[nursegirl6572]

Not everyone who is newly infected people have symptoms....look at what teak just said..he's never had symptoms.

I don't think anything of the missing sample other than the lab ovbviously lost it.

[ihopeimmad]

please look at my first post. i took the last test only to be sure for the 1st exposure.how could i be infected from the 2nd without the triad?fever rash sore throat? what you think of the missing sample?

[Teak]

He had a condom failure later. His second exposure.

[Teak]

I'm HIV positive and have been for 28 years and I've never had symptoms. Now what does that tell you?

[nursegirl6572]

I'm confused..you had a negative test at 15 weeks...why would you even have tested again?  That was conclsuive.  What was your risk anyway?

[ihopeimmad]

ok i want to understand. if i am infected i have symptoms yes or no?

[Teak]

So, you still have to test after your second exposure.

[ihopeimmad]

but all symptoms are after 1st exposure. fever rash....

[Teak]

Reread the first reply where Lizzie told you about you second exposure.

[ihopeimmad]

i had a negative test at 15 weeks hiv 1/2 antibodies. what chance you give that is positive and they want to confirm?thanx

?????????

You don't ask any questions.  What exactly are you asking?  Obviously, if the lab told you the sample is lost, then you have to re-take the test.  It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.  Not much you can do about it.
