Hello,


I have had symptoms since 2 weeks after a potential exposure with a female. Unable to validate her status, I have had swollen lymph nodes for 8 months, muscle pain, fatigue, weight gain,eye twitching, low sed rate of 0....however no fever or rash which I have been told are key components in acute HIV infection as well as symptoms don't last this long.

I had a HIV 1-DNA PCR at 2 and 4 weeks post exposure-Both Neg
I have had a 2,3.5,4,6.5,16 week Blood Drawn Hiv1/2 plus O EIA-Neg
I have had a 6,8,10,11,12,14,19,21,24 week orasure oral swab EIA-Neg
I have had a 3.5, 6,9 and 14 week Hep B and C antibody
I have had a 17 week HCV RNA PCR-Neg

Thats 15 antibody tests and 2 DNA PCR tests all neg

1) is there any chance all theses tests missed soemthing?
2) Do ARS symptoms last this long?
3) Is my testing conclusive?

Hello

1) is there any chance all theses tests missed soemthing? Absolutely not a chance at all of missing HIV
2) Do ARS symptoms last this long?you don't have HIV so you CANNOT have ARS
3) Is my testing conclusive?Lord help us! Absolutely, emphatically yes!

Best regards, Sean
