Still doing terrible

Guys Im sorry to seem like I ask the same questions but this one is a bit different. Now 4 months after exposure and after testing conclusively negative with oraquick at 12 weeks, I have symptoms that have been happening for a while, I feel extremely weak, I feel dazed like just completely out of it, my legs and hands keep going numb, my arms feel heavy and weak, I have swollen lymph nodes all over, no fever, no rash, or no sore throat thank God, but excuse my language,...but dammit something has to give, I cant go on like this anymore I dont know what else to do, I feel like I deserve HIV after what I did.

As far as HIV is  concerned, it really looks like you don't have it!


Advice?

Work on the "deserve" part .No one "deserves" anything!

Whoa daddy!

Jump off a bridge?!

Serioulsy?!

Relax!

You took  an FDA idiot proof test that has been evaluated out of the jing jang? and you got a C line right?...Right?

If that is true it means the test  has run it's course and did  not detect antibodies.
The "C" does not only mean the capillary action of the test stick worked but it detected other cells in the mucosal fluid. If you would have dunked the test stick in water the C line would have not shown up!

You're done testing!

Thanks for taking the time to reply! But I feel as though the test didn't catch it. But after reading info on the test I've come to find that in the present day its very reliable so I do trust in the test but the symptoms are gonna cause me to jump off a bride

" I feel extremely weak, I feel dazed like just completely out of it, my legs and hands keep going numb, my arms feel heavy and weak, I have swollen lymph nodes all over"

Stop watching FOX news!! It can cause all of the above symptoms!

If you had a negative oraquick test after 12 weeks then you are negative!
And you don't "deserve" anything!

If you followed the instructions of the test kit then a line at the "C" and none at the "T" means that you do not have HIV.
Test results always overrule symptoms. Always!

If you are concerned about your symptoms see your doctor. Not an HIV concern.
