symptoms

[jays63]

Hi i had flu like symptoms about three days after sex with unknown. I am concerned it was possible ars. I had a ten week oral antibody and an 18 week blood drawn antibody at labcorp. I considered this conclusive but at 5 months post exposure i have swollen glands that are persistant for about two months. I took 10 days antibiotic with no effect. Can this be hiv or possibly herpes. Can i trust my tests or is it necessary to wait until 6 months.

If these symptoms were due to hiv would my test three weeks later have been positive. I jad a hsv test come up negative but its hard to believe with the tingling i had three days post exposure

I tested again at 28 weeks however around week 25  Ive been having pain under my arms as well as behind my knees with muscle pain and weakness.
Can this be caused by hiv and be delayed ars symptoms beginning this late after exposure.

your test result PROVES that you DONT have hiv...no way...no how ! ! !

if you are having health concerns, work with your dr to find the cause.  it's not hiv related

Does anyone know if it would take 5-6 months for hiv to cause swollen nodes. Ive been having right side ab pain as well. I saw dr and he took cbc and all was normal. Symptoms have been ongoing for aboit a month. I had flu like symptoms and groin tingling about 3 days after unprotected sex can this all be due to herpes or another std?

Iwould it take 6 months for hiv to cause swollen nodes?

I trust in your knowledge, why in your opinion do some places say 6 month testing, is it a cya type of thing or just old

You don't have an HIV concern you've had a conclusive negative test result.
