Hiv negative stories
Common Questions and Answers about Hiv negative stories
hiv
I am a heterosexual non drug using male. I had a blood prick HIV test come back negative at 5 and a half weeks, and two oraquick tests come back negative at 9 weeks and 12 weeks. I have IBD which is an auto immune disease. Everything I read says that a negative test at 12 weeks is conclusive, however I have also read things that say an auto immune disease can delay seroconversion, causing a false negative at 12 weeks. Can someone clear the air? Am I HIV negative?
I did ask our medical director here, and to be honest it seems most MDs really arent sure when it comes to HIV. I wont bother you guys with numerous questions, but even though I have all the "classic symtpoms" is the chance I have HIV really zero? Would I have all these symtpoms starting less than a year after exposure or usually years later.

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.
5 weeks, 4th gen + HIV 1 rna pcr at 9 weeks at a different lab and 4th gen + Hep C at 12 weeks. All tests were negative/undetected. I didn't get any symptoms as described on most sites but I did get some mild muscle spasms and cramps which I think is most
probably due to severe stress I went through in the first 2 month after exposure. I got a mild swollen lymph node behind my right ear at the 3 month mark which went away completely in 9 days.
I got tested at that time, chemuliscience antibody, HIV negative. Then a month ago again HIV negative. For the last few days I have had burning a redness in my vagina. Not painful just dry. No lesions. A dull pain in my groin area that sometimes goes down my leg to my knee. I also feel a slight jolt of pain under my arm once in a while (I think this is where swollen glands occur). I am now concerned my tests were false negatives and I should retest.
1) How conclusive are these tests?
I found out that ex-partner tested HIV 3 years ago and result was negative. I assume I have herpes but not HIV.
Recently, my new partner took 1st HIV 1/2 antibodies screening test for pregnancy. According to the hospital, If there is any problem, the hospital will contact us. (However, we never hear from them for 3 months.)
Let's say my partner's result is negative. Does this mean we both possibly don't have HIV?
a negative test 3 months post exposure is RELIABLE and CONCLUSIVE...PROVING that you dont have hiv.
Not exactly medically diagnosed,....". Well, that diagnosis is just a guess. Self diagnosis is generally incorrect and in this case it is a good thing since you don't have a disorder. I have dry eyes too but I don't have autoimmune disorder.
Please follow Chima's advice - and relax because it seems there is nothing wrong with you unless you see doc and he finds something.
Just wondering if it is possible that some people were tested positive for herpes and go for a second test and it comes out negative... I am not holding my breath, but just curious if this has happened... I need all the positive advice and stories I can get!!
Thanks!
or you just worried out of ur mind that you might have it? despite having negative hiv results?... If this is your case, we can talk, I have been through this before. I did around 12 tests for hiv, all came back negative and I still couldn´t believe it. It was day in and day it inside of my mind. Keep me posted.
i had no pain no symptoms that would makes me feel worried, but still i got freaked out after ive heard some stories from ppl. so i did some blood work with an HIV test with LAPCORP thru my Familly Doctor on 3rd august 2012...
3 days later i got the result from my doctor who told me that my results are Negative writen as follow; 1< relative to the negative cutoff.... non reaction
so its been about 13 weeks since my 1st relation and 11 weeks since my second relation.
Those 'stories' are just that, stories that were not able to ever be proven. Doctors and HIV experts would be all over a documented case and they aren't. No HIV expert says to be concerned over oral sex and AT MOST mention theoretical risk which is again, not a real or true risk.
s blood tested for HIV negative (4th Gen CMIA). I got myself tested at 4 weeks (0.10), 8weeks (0.20) 12 weeks (0.13), 18 weeks (0.28) . All results negative. The cutt off rates varied and seemed to increase.
My question is do I need to get tested after 6 months ? Can I rely of 4th Gen HIV 1 & 2 Combo CMIA lab based tests? and are they reliable at 4.5 months ? How come the cut off rates incresased with time ?
I am 30, straight male, from Harrisburg Pa worried about HIV, ok my last test was about 7 years ago and it was negative. I was just tested yesterday waiting on results till Monday. I waited so long cause I was always worried about it, just didn’t want to know like many people. I would say I had about 10 risk encounters with women of differant races since then unprotected sex or oral sex.
but yea, i read stories on this hiv website that one person tested negative months after a risk and then would test positive 5 years later!! I told my friend (who is in med school about that) and he said to seek help from a mental help proffessional. I just dont know what to do!! Im afraid i could test poz years later or so or become really sick w/o having sex in the future!!
I have read many forums over and through 10,000 times and have read SOO many or stories about HIV scars and different peoples stories. However I would like to share my story and what I am currently going through to hopefully gain some insight about what is going on and or help others that might be in a similar situation to what I have going on. To start things off I am a 30 year old male who has only had 3 sexual partners prior to this event and have never been the type to sleep around.
