Aa
terrified for my girlfriend
Ive hiv tested 8 times total, all negative... 7 antibody tests as follows, 4 rapid tests, 1 orasure, 1 at infectious disease doc/blood draw/lab and 1 at primary care doc/blood draw/lab but With this one at my primary care doctor they did another kind besides antibody, one that said<1.87 which the doctor said "that means its not there"... my concerns are that my first test was Roughly 13 months after I might have been exposed , and I've Just heard that antibodies might not show up A year after exposure. I had the night sweats and all that stuff way back thenbut my mind had been set at ease with all the tests. now I come to find out that sinus issues are also A sign and I am freaking out because my girlfriend had the night sweats and all that and now has sinus problems regularly. We both have had weight loss, but I've had so much stress anxiety and depression and I know that can cause weight loss. I have a white tongue that is sometimes worse than others that my doctor said is normal ....actually three doctors said that. I could go on and on for pages but one of my questions is, I am getting a physical for life insurance tomorrow and was wondering if they use more accurate testing
Seek the help of a mental help professional if you can't accept the fact you didn't have an exposure. You are out of the scope that this or any Internet forum can provide.
Im sorry I said that about candida, its just that mine has gotten worse (higher antiboby count) After addressing the problem with healthy diet and probiotics, sorry im just confused and scared, for my beautiful girlfriend and mother of 3
Sorry...... so you don't know anything about the life insurance testing being more accurate or if its the same
We can assure you there is no conspiracy. We have nothing to gain by falsely advising members that they had no risk, or that they have conclusively testing negative. You are free to believe what you wish, but we are not able to address your concerns about a non-existent conspiracy or incorrect information you have found elsewhere on the internet.
I really think that HIV being also a mental disease , you will decide to live A long life or die. and I think that your Appointed job is to make people that have tested negative believe that they don't have itand I'm not criticizing you at all. I just think there's some kind of conspiracy
so if I had Raw skin that came into contact with her vaginal secretions/blood/sores you don't think I was possibly exposed even if she had it (she didn't let me see her vagina,I know I get dumber by the minute)
the summer of 2010 I was out with a friend and I was newly divorced,separated for 6 months and in a sexless marriage for 11 years prior to that. He suggested an escort and I know it seems like I'm placing blame but if it weren't for him I never would have done it I never would have thought of the idea because I didn't know how it worked, I thought those girls that advertised in the paper where dancers. anyway, I said what the hell. So He called one for me. I know it still me that did it, but I can't help but wish I was never friends with that person...I was protected but had just that night done some really thorough "manscaping" (shaving, maybe too close).. couple weeks later I got a sore At the base of my penis where i was shaved real close and exposed, i thought maybe it was just an ingrown hairbut I put stuff on it and it got a lot worse,and two doctors said I just gave myself a chemical burn then a few weeks or so after that I got a red rash around the head of my penis which my doctor said was probably an allergic reaction to a homeopathic spray for hpv I was using so I wasn't that worried cuz the time line made sense. I didn't even have any symptoms of HPV but I was freshly divorced and wanted to eradicate anything possible that was wrong with me for my next girlfriend or mate, whatever... So there's my possible exposure. Do you know anything about insurance company HIV testpossibly being more accurate
You heard wrong. You never stated your possible exposure but even if you did you've tested conclusively negative.

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
