Tested negative after but still have symptoms. Will it change in 12 weeks?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I had sex with a SW, used a condom but it broke and was exposed for like 30 sec, i put on another but didn't finish coz i just wasn't myself after that. I asked the girl about her status, said she had tested negative 2 weeks before but didn't trust her. Started getting body aches after 4-5 days and i was just like omg, i have hiv now. Went and got tested after 8 days(too soon i know) obviously negative, doc told me it's probably stress. Went on to Google and read about the window period of 3-12 weeks and i was stressed again as the body aches didn't go away too. Had a finger prick after 18 days negative, lab test 31 days negative but still have body aches, no fever, flu, white tounge or rash. Will my results change?

yes when i went to get tested i was having symptoms and came back negative and then got a rash got it swabbed and the rash tested positive but i was told to wait a month for body to build antibodies and then it should show i am in fact positive. so yes your results could change.

How long did you test after exposure, for you to test positive?

i cant give u a time frame. i didnt even know i was exposed to it. i had flu like symptoms and i had unprotected sex various times that month and even months before w my bf so i went to get tested and test results came back negative a week or less after that result i got a rash so went to get that swabbed and came back positive. i told my gyno that i had tested negative for all STD panel and she told me since it was first outbreak i had to go back in 4-8 weeks and i should have antibodies by then so blood work should be positive too.

So now you're hiv positive right? Did you experience any body aches whatsoever? I'm guessing since you had symptoms and the rash maybe it was 2-4 weeks after exposure because that's what the cdc says about it,maybe you had tested too many early as you didn't know when you were exposed.
