You got it wrong here too. They were cases of health workers who tested positive after the three months mark. I saw few persons on some groups who tested positive after three months mark. One complained of having severe dehydration during those months, the other talked of non stop sore throat( skripture I know you saw that post too, so it’s not like I am scarring you). The point is they later did after 3months and showed positive. And I learnt some strain of the virus are not easily picked up by anti body test, don’t know if such are found in west Africa. Sometimes the bad news is better than waiting for the news. Only few will understand this.
OK iam not a medical doctor to argue this but we have doctors on this thread and they are mute please doctors what is your take on this issue.....abeg throw more light one thing let's be optimistic all will be well

it will be well I believe same result a least your test will give us hope we that are at 5 months....According to research it has never happened except one has exposed himself within that seroconversion time....so just chill all will be well I think not sure its a normal STI....just do it if you don't your mind won't be at rest
Hopefully we remain negative at the 6 months mark.

Not that it doesn't happen but it's rare.

We don't have HIV specialists in Nigeria. I don't know what you want them to tell you

True. People seroconvert after 3 months but it's just that 97% seroconvert at or before 3 months.

I should not use that guys(the link I shared you)comment to make a general conclusion, but do you think the guy was actually positive? And if yes. He tested negative at 3months mark using an anti body test
Only a western blot( which by the way is no longer used for hiv screening) could pick it up.

What we should know is that, to every rule there is an exemption. He might just be a troll actually, but it does not take away the fact that things like this happens.

That’s true. You know next week you going to be negative. My prayers are with you, and like I said go to a general and complain well of the ulsers and every other symptom. The nodes should not bother you, they don’t even give me headache as they are not painful, just the ulsers and dry mouth. If the tongue like it should glow. So long it doesn’t discomfort me.

I am having all the normal flu symptoms and a slight red rash on my left cheek just three weeks after last protected sex.

Through what made me started thinking was because I had washed my hands 30 minutes after sex, and any vaginal fluid may have washed with water into a wound on the top of my hand.

Currently taking drugs for malaria and typhoid though I am not sure if that is the problem.
I am waiting for 4 weeks to do an HIV test.

God help me.

I didn't take prep.
I honestly didn't think it was a risky encounter until I started having fever and cold.

Then you have nothing to fear...I had the same symptoms at 4weeks and 6 weeks I was negative....A doctor I met told me maximum is 8 weeks before testing

The Virus does not survive in water and gradually becomes weak once exposed to air.
My brother go and drink beer, you had no risk in the first place. Leave us that had real risk and symptoms to be begging God to help us.

Today makes it exactly 6 months for me so I'll be testing this evening or within the week.
I've never been this tensed in my whole life.

I seriously hope so, my brother.
Though I remember that when she was wearing me the condom, she pricked me with her long fingernails, though I didn't see any injury sha.

Just that the flu symptoms and body aches I am having is making me scared.
I don't know if it is anxiety or unnecessary antibiotics I am using that is making my tongue to go white.

Sex is not worth all this stress at all.

Do your test and gist us.
I am sure it would be negative.

6 months is like an overkill.

You both are good. I really don’t see any risk with you. This past month hasn’t been easy. Sometimes I wish they can just tell me I am + once and for all let me rest. The mouth sores just keep on hurting me. My body still burns with slight fever every now and then. AC self doesn’t do any good. With how insidious HIV i just hope I am not a fast Progressor as delay in anti bodies might imply this.

Are you sure it is not anxiety that is giving you sores?
You have done quite a lot of tests.

I am feverish and I am still not sure what is causing it.

Anxiety gives sores?? I wake up to new injuries all over my mouth. With obvious oral thrush too. The fever Is there. There are symptoms anxiety don’t cause.

Yeah it is. I wanted to say he should use blood drawn from a syringe rather than the finger prick own.

I thought symptoms are not supposed to last this long. I still have sores in my mouth and sore throat.
It's definitely not anxiety
Did you test for mono and EBV?
