What do you Think ?

[RainLover71]

Nothing delays seroconversion anymore with the excellent tests we have avaliable to us today.The body.com is not the best place to be getting your information from as they are ultra conservative.

Hello and many thanks

I have the following symptons after 15 weeks test (Combo Ab/Ag):

This symptoms or the most of them began after 17 weeks ( i am now 20 weeks after risk)

Arms and legs thinner, loss of fat on face and buttocks
Muscle aches / joint aches
rash all over my trunk area and genital area
constant headache
Weakness / fatigue
Sinusite

Strange all this symptoms together No ?

[panther81]

What about the person who had seroconversion after 11 months ?

She posted her on this site and on the body.com :

That case was 20 years ago when testing was very average.The testing has improved so much now and the tests are ultra sensitive.Stop digging up the past,it will do you no good.

[panther81]

Thank again for your answer

In fact, the case was on 2008 ... so 3 years ago

What about all my symptoms ... are they ARS related ?

Arms and legs thinner, loss of fat on face and buttocks
Muscle aches / joint aches
rash all over my trunk area and genital area
constant headache
Weakness / fatigue
Sinusite

Many Thanks

No it wasn't,it was a nurse that was co-infected with HIV and HCV in 1991.Your Hiv test was conclusive and your symptoms are not related.Accept the facts please.

[panther81]

Did you read my link GetItright ?

I am talking about a girl from Poland who posted here on this forum and on other forums .. she was taken mesalamine and her test became positive after 14 months while she had negative test at 11 months

[RainLover71]

I read your link and that's a load of BS.I heard that story before and she had another exposure between testing.You are worrying for nothing.

[panther81]

Exposure between testing ?
How did you know ? she were pregnant, and she didn't mentionned that :)

[RainLover71]

It was a proven fact that she had another exposure that resulted in her testing positive.There was another case of a french woman who lied about several exposures during the window period and claimed to test positive after 8 months.All lies.The only cases that are factual are those in the 90's.

[panther81]

I agree with you ... but can you please tell me how you can be sure about this ? As the girl didn't came back on forums to say she had another exposure ...

[panther81]

UP

[Vance2335]

This forum can no longer help you. We have tried but you do not believe what you have been told.

[panther81]

Thank you Vance
But i do really have a rash all over my body 4 weeks afther the risk.
And all symptoms below persist :(

Arms and legs thinner, loss of fat on face and buttocks
Muscle aches / joint aches
rash all over my trunk area and genital area
constant headache
Weakness / fatigue
Sinusite

What do you suggest me to do ?

I am scared before 'Maya' a user on this site in 2008, had the same problem, and her test become positive after 14 months !

[Vance2335]

Of course she did. No one lies do they?

Move on and see a Dr for your rash.

[panther81]

In fact, i saw him 3 weeks ago and gave me lots of drugs, but rush persists :(

I understand your point of view .. but i am scared when i saw all ths symptoms together, i tell myself, it ls not possible to be a coincidence ... :(

[panther81]

if it was a late seroconversion ... will i feel the ssame symptoms but delayed ?
the rash came by week 4, sinusite also
i try to accept your answer, but it is difficult when i see my symptoms but i thank you a lot

[panther81]

What do you think about this ars symptoms and a late seroconversion ?
And if you could please explain me why Mesalamine doesnt affect or delay seroconversion ? It has immunosuppressant !

[panther81]

I saw him and asked me to do another test at 5 months :(
My legs and arms and face are getting thin
But always same weight
Headaches and muscle aches ....
Merry christmas

[Teak]

You do not have an HIV concern.

[panther81]

Teak believe me i am loosing weight in some part of my body ( legs, arms, face) and gaining in other parts
Pain in legs and arms and specially today pain in shoulders, i feel like skin of shoulders is burning :(
I am convinced now that i have hiv :(
I guess that my test didnt catch it or it was later than 3 months due to my drugs i take since 3 years ...

[RainLover71]

Your thinking is totally irrational.There is no such event as latent seroconversion in 2011.Your test results are final and conclusive.Believe them,if you can't then seek some therapy please.
