Symptoms, risk and test results

by Oomar27, Jul 07, 2008 08:55PM
I have been in this pages for half a year, and it's imposiible to stop thinking about this. Well my exposure was dic 7. 07 unprotected sex vaginal and anal. How can 20 min of pleasure can cuased you internal, external psycological death. I suffered from high fever for 2 weeks, skin rash that is still visible and the results tells me something else.
I remenber i could not get up for 3 days, i though i had the flu but then reading info about hiv everything came relative.
This is my test history.
42 days & 74 days oraquick saliva
3 months oraquick saliva/ blood from finger
4 months finger saliva
5 months and 1 week oraquick finger
5 months and 3 weeks oraquick saliva
06.03.08 4 days short to 6 months oraquick advance hiv1/hiv 2 saliva
06.27.08 oraqquick advance hiv 1/ hiv 2 saliva
All these results are negative. How can i tell myself to stop worrying about hiv if i remember those symtoms that i never had them in my life before.
Is oraquick the same as ELISA?
6 months and 20 days is not enough fo antibodies to show up?
In my blood hows i had herpes 1, which i dont remenebr having any ulcer in my mouth, and antibodies for HEP B, does anyone know about HEPB? could HEP B caused my body to have the rash, fever/? for 2 weeks?
I do not consider myselg an alien or anything like that bit what can cuase my body NOT to create antibodies if i was infected?
Are there any wierd strains of HIV that Oraquick does not catch??
Please do not considere me crazy or anything like that, i'm just worry, i'd to have kids and this year was the year to have one but i really don't know what;s going on, sometimes i have fever, when i drink a bear , i get this feveish feeling.
I have rash in both arms, no diarrea, no extrmely high fever like that one that i suffred in late dic.
I had sex w/o proteccion now i regret it but it's too late, she was at the end of her period, therefore that's why i think i'm infected otherwise my test results said the opposite.
Please  i need expertise feedback, thank you for your time and promt responce.

Please calm down. I am not an expert but you are good; you got a negative result at 6 months, when a 3 months result would be conclusive.

Many people have herpes. It can be passed non-sexually. Hep B is treatable, so you are on the right track, but it needs to start with moving on with your HIV negative status. I am happy for you, and please stay safe.

wow...all those tests and you still "think" you have hiv!!!!!!!

you are on the wrong forum...you do not have a hiv concern.  seek professional mental help for your concerns.

by Teak, Jul 08, 2008 04:37AM
I concur, seek professional mental help.

Hi Oomar,

Just live your life....and stay safe...
3 months was enough 6 months was better.....

HIV virus is sensitive and easily detected with today's equipment and tests......tell ur self this....'if you were infected doctors wouldn't have klet u go for a very simple reason...you coulc infect others.....so they will treat you and refer u to a specialist"......taht is what they do in UK at least.....so take care and be good.

Go talk to someone if u are too scared.....
Take care,
FWK

6 months was not "better"...3 months was conclusive.  

by Teak, Jul 08, 2008 05:45AM
6 months was not better at all. It is out of ignorance and/or mental issues.

Well people in here seem very knowlegble a/b this. The thing is that how can I explain high fever for almost 3 weeks and this skin rash tha i still have it in my arms. It have been 7 months of thinking about i'm infected. I just read that beside veriosn 1 and 2 of the virus you have sub types like gruop N and 0 that can't be decteted with Elisa.
Well Teak and other you do think ORAQUICK ADVANCE is good enough for all strain of the virus?
Here in the clinics said 3 mons is conclusive, cdc estates 97% at 3 mons and 100 at 6 months. I;m trying to become a father and this is very hard for me thinking i'll infecte my wife and my child.
Is 6 months conclusive with Oraquick Advance ?
I read about some strians of hiv but i really don't know what to think guys.
Please coment about this , my last post.

by aak001, Jul 08, 2008 08:16AM
Oomar I am not an expert on testing but the doctors in the expert forum say that 3 months is conclusive. i doubnt that after testing this much your results will change so calm down and forget abouit the past.

by Thankful613, Jul 08, 2008 08:43AM
Oomar, Congrats. You are negative.
If you can not get over it in your head just take a regular veinous blood test and get your negative result.  Maybe that will help.  Also, were you vaccinated for Hep B?  Many people have been, so if you were that means the antibodies show up because you are immune.

by Teak, Jul 08, 2008 01:02PM
I have no idea where you are getting your information but 3 months is conclusive. CDC changed their guidelines in 2004. Now go seek professional mental help as to why you can't accept your test results.
