weakly reactive rapid test

[floydian]

Hello,
Some of you might remember me from 6 months ago, my exposure was with csw and negative tests out to 6 months, at the end I was still not convinced that i am hiv free. Last month I got drunk with my frnds and told them about it they took me back there and I did the same mistake again. After 11 days I got flu like symptoms with diarrhea and a few pink spots on my stomach. Next day I ordered a PCR from labcorp which I am still waiting on... They have not sent a result yet! So I went out and got a rapid test and it showed a weakly reactive result... twice! They took my blood sample for western blot.... any suggestions? My exposure was full massage and protected oral/vaginal but I had 2/3 sores diagnosed as folliculitis by a dermatologist. Thanks...

too late. i went throug this a year and a half ago. i thought i had hiv. i didnt. i can laugh at it now. i had diareah. everything.. anyways this time. i knew. one day i woke up and got the swollen lymph nodes that was huge. i mean big./  then fever and chills . its was crazy. i was so scared. it was too real. its scary when you get it. and it doesnt go away. what happens is. you dont get sick after ars. its last about a week maybe a week and half. after that it starts to attack your skin and mouth. not thrush , but sore on top of roof, and inner lip. blisters. it *****. i got folliutus , i have a scar. anyways. and your lyphnodes hurt mildly. for me i belive i have it.

You still think i might be negative?

I hope/wish you are right. If my PCR and WB next week come back negative I wont ever take a risk / test again.

Dont waste your life by obsessing with HIV, If you are negative at 3 months thats it. I did that went on testing and look where it landed, i didnt trust my tests till i went out had another exposure and then the test turned positive. It was all ironic, please dont waste ur life like i did

doctors and science do not know why it is that some people make antibodies in 25 days or within three months or whenever. they only know the most people seroconvert within three months or so. there not sure why some take longer. those very few. unfortanely./ lets not forget about the 1 percent they say that takes longer than six months. also, the cdc says if you get a hcw or needle stick that you should test to six months to make sure. then if you have clinical signs of hiv/aids you should continue testing. always test three to six months after a very high risk known exposure. not that you are floy.
