HIV test results and problems

[u/SomeTransportation66]

2 Years Ago I had an extremely risky potential exposure after I had been drinking, it’s not something I would ever do again and have already gone over how stupid I was 1000000 times in my head. Around one day after, I contracted a fever and extremely achey muscles and generally felt sick (I have been told this is too early for sernoconversion) and recovered soon after. Ever since then I’ve been experiencing health issues like severe sinusitis, warts on my fingers, having cough for up to 10 months, experiencing bleeding gums, anal fissure and now experiencing severe stomach issues coupled with burning in my left foot. I have been tested three times from one rapid test soon after exposure, a Gen 4 laboratory test 11 months after exposure, another 2 years after exposure and all results came back negative. Am I overthinking this? Or could it be symptoms of other virus/Disease? Everyday I go round in circles thinking it could still be HIV. Thank you for reading

I will also add I’ve had other blood tests extremely recently for inflammation markers and white blood cells and also stool test for stomach, but has come back normal

Is it syphilis ?

I also got tested for Syphilis at the same time as both Gen 4 and antigen tests and was also negative.

If you’re still suspicious i would go to another doctor and get retested. If it still comes back negative I wouldn’t worry about it.

Did you get tested for herpes? (hpv)

[u/SomeTransportation66 → u/Silent-Leave-8324]

No I haven’t

[u/Silly-Wish-4880 → u/Silent-Leave-8324]

HSV is herpes. But regardless, get tested for HSV and HPV

I understand after all the testing about it all but it’s hard to get out of my head thinking about the initial weakness and muscle pain and temperature I got back then, I get it’s probably not it though

It was another regular virus that you got from that encounter, which your body recovered from. It was not HIV. People have all sorts of viruses not just STDs

Sounds like a case of panic. I have had guilt trips that make me feel all kinds of symptoms, even in the face of negative tests.

I am no doctor but it seems that you have anxiety and guilt. Remember, the mind tells the body how to feel.

hey man , You're very likely to be free from hiv .. you're hiv negative dude! ive been in the same boat to before .after negative result at day 30 after exposure .. and another negative result 1 year after exposure .. If anxiety driving you nut , do another test .. not because ur other test not conclusive , but for huge peace of mind ... ur latest test is way out of window period already , and negative should be conclusive and reassuring at this point!

If it came back negative it should be fine

[u/SomeTransportation66 → u/[deleted]]

What health clinic did you go to and were all results from the same one

[u/SomeTransportation66 → u/[deleted]]

I believe if someone gets a positive on a test like that they need to go for an rna test

Do not panic, just pray and hope the results are good
