95% of the time a persons symptoms are due to very high anxiety and worry. It is true that most people with ARS type symptoms DO NOT have HIV. and most people with NO symptoms DO. This tells you that your symptoms are most likely due to the anxiety you are having after a exposure. Your tests PROVE it is not HIV as you have been told

Hope this helps

Hi,

I'm in a similar situation. I had an unprotected relationship five months ago. I have had several symptoms, enlarged lymph nodes, night sweats, rash, muscle pain, infections in the mouth. However I have 11 negative test, the last one at five months. So, what to do? Try to belive the tests. I the only accurate way to know your status. I know it is difficult, but is the only way.

FEAR IS NOT FACT ! ! !

STOP TRYING TO PROVE THAT YOU "DO" HAVE HIV AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU "DONT"

I understand. I perfectly understand how you feel. It's not only you who feel like that. millions of them does too. But isn't not fair for your family and for yourself who's suffering from a burden who SUPPOSE not to be?

Listen, the more you convince your self that you have that is the more you will get much serious illnesses. Trust me, getting youself soak up with that anxiety doesn't give yourself, your health and to your family good.

So, you can live freely and safely. I am in the same boat with you but i am more serious than you because i have a lot of freaking lymph nodes through out my body- neck, armpit and groin. Every symptom in me is gone but i still have these lymph nodes. I wonder I could believe my 6 month post expusre negative test result or I should believe the symptoms. But i am definitely sure that you have no contact with HIV at the mean time.
