It is just your anxiety causing all of these symptoms. I have not heard of anyone testing positive after testing negative in the three months window period. The 4th generation test is pretty accurate. I am in the same boat. I believe I have had an exposure. Did a test at the 5th week but waiting to do another one next month at the three months mark.

thanks for replying. Its hard to believe my results with all the symptoms i have and continue to have. I will test out to 6months and post my results. My doctor denied me of a HIV RNA test but im not feeling well at all.

I know what you mean and feel. Despite seeing the negative results, it is not enough to bring you peace because of the symptoms you are having. Your anxiety and mind would keep those symptoms alive and only will get worse if you don't slowly try to accept the results. Your doctor probably don't want to do it because they see the test as conclusive. Let the six months mark be enough for you. Though I'm telling you all of this when I'm scared myself. You are ok Rob. You just need to believe that you are.

thank you for replying , im scared to death im sure i have HIV and my body hasn't produce antibodies but not sure why antingents were not found. I mean i dont want to test positive but ever since the exposure i had very bad symptoms. Red bumps on my penis, weight loss even when im trying my best to gain weight i cant, i also remember my feet sweating a lot after the first week. Im totally devestated i cant function anymore

Persons can develop antibodies in 1 to 4 weeks while others at the 12th week mark. Your test during those window periods shows you don't have it. You are trying to convince yourself of something you don't have which is clearly making you sick. You should also seek some counselling to help you through this because you are driving yourself crazy.

You are fine. You have tested negative. After that time, HIV ABS would be detected. Additionally, the symptoms you describe are late stages (10-15 years in the future!)
So your symptoms are attributed to something else. At a guess, your anxiety is likely to be exacerbating them.
What age are you? What other testing have you had - Full Blood Count / U&E? Get those done and start from there.

Hi thank you , i am located in California USA,. I have done a CBC blood count . What scares me is my WBC , lymphocytes and monocytes. --- My WBC before exposure was also at about 8.1 and it dropped to 6.9 within a month , now its back up to 8.4
my lymphocytes were always at 2.7 before exposure dropped to 1.7 and now up to 2.5.
my monocytes were always at 8 and dropped to 4 and now back to 7
i also tested negative for all other Stds at 3 months Hep A,B,C, Syphillys, Ghonoreah Clamedhya, etc

Hi Robo
All within range. RBC and WBC rise and fall like stocks and shares. Sounds like a temporary infection of some kind - but even with the drop still well within range.
Not sure on the rash/candida with no pictures. Weight/stool could be anything from diet/intolerance etc. If you're young, your body goes through changes and your heightened awareness of your body is making you question things.
You sound fine, physically.

it is crazy , i feel like a total different person physically . My gums also burn sometimes like you mention , i am also going a bit crazy and i am afraid that i will test positive at the 6month mark. I no longer believe the CDC when they said a 3month test is accurate . they even indicate a 4th generation is accurate at 45day window, im sure there is a new STD out there, this sucks for all of us
