Title: Anyone got hiv+ after more or less than 3months of possible Exposure?
Post by: vectorial on September 06, 2010, 03:47:15 pm
I heard that HIV can't be cure.
I would like to know what's going on with some people that believe he has healed and become negative with herbal. They even dare to show their test printout result that show new test with negative result.

My Question is, what happened to those ppl who has undetected level of viral load?

Will they get tested and get negative result even the virus still remains in their body?
 or
will they still gonna get positive result even though his viral load is at undetected level?

Did any positive people here with undetected Viral load has done a new anti-HIV test?
I am a bit confuse here. Thanks for any information.

This is not the general, or even the occasional story, so I'd want to look very closely at the facts, cos prob they's 1) fibbing 2) wishing 3) the tests were wrong.

Just because your HIV RNA is undetectable does not mean you don't have HIV.

As far as I know there has only been ONE person ever cured of HIV EVER and that was with  chemo, radiation , and a bone marrow transplant.  Undectable viral load just means that the test is not able to find any, but the test has LIMITATIONS on how low it can detect, which is basicly 48 copies of the virus in a drop of blood or more.  If you get HIV, you better be prepared to  deal with it in the long haul because there is no cure at the current time.  Just control...  and the herbal shit..... quackery.

Another strange fact is when people wanted to test for CD4 and Viral Load, they need to bring doctor referral letter first before they allowed to do the test?
My big question here is, why any healthy people are not allowed to do the test?
Isn't it strange?
Did any normal people will have some numbers too when they do CD4 and viral load test?
What the heck with the system?
Honestly this only happen with HIV test, not with any other sickness. Did Govt trying to hide sthg from us?
Can some people here found someone healthy and do the cd4 and VL test?
And please share the result here. thks.

Vec, are you hiv positive? Because if you're not, you should not be posting in this forum, you should be posting in the Am I Infected? (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?board=1.0) forum.

This is not negotiable and if you refuse to answer the question, I will assume that you are hiv negative and move your thread over there. It sure sounds like you're hiv negative, so an answer would be most appreciated.

I have never heard of such people.  Can you share examples?

Unfortunately, it seems not.  If I understand correctly, testing positive for HIV is a result of the presence of antibodies, not of virus, so even an undetectable person will still test positive for HIV.

For one thing, getting these tests done is quite expensive.  That alone would prohibit random healthy people from getting them done out of pure curiosity.  

However, I've seen a number of articles in which the t-cell count of HIV negative people is described, or how t-cells fluctuate in negative people, so I assume some negative people are being tested for t-cell count, if only for research purposes.

Vec,

I've moved your thread for you. Make sure you read and abide by our posting guidelines found in this forum's
Welcome Thread (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=220.0) 

The testing window period for hiv is three months. This means you have tested conclusively hiv negative and you do NOT have hiv.

Neither symptoms nor the lack of symptoms mean a thing when it comes to diagnosing hiv. ONLY the antibody test at three months will accurately reveal your hiv status.

You do NOT have hiv. If you feel unwell, see a doctor. Whatever is going on has nothing to do with hiv.

You have been told that you're NOT allowed to post here Vectorial as your last test is negative. Anyone not with a conclusive positive result cannot post here.

Vec,

I removed your latest post that you placed in the I Just Tested Poz forum and put it here, with your original thread - which also had to be removed from Just Tested. This is the ONLY place you should be posting; here in Am I Infected and here in your own thread.

If you ever bothered to read the Welcome thread like I asked you to, you will have noticed the link to the Transmission Lesson. Go read it.

You have tested conclusively hiv negative. You don't have hiv. If you feel unwell, see a doctor. Whatever is going on has nothing to do with hiv.
