Hello,
I am male, i had unprotected sex with sex worker in thailand in July 2009, after that i had many HIV test with CBC all are negative and i found on internet that in some case false negative test may come in normal hiv test like EIA in XLA and CVID person so i done my Ig levels also and IgA & IgM level come normal (IgA - 150 mg/dl and IgM - 99 mg/dl) but my igE and IgG level come HIGH (IgE - 640 mg/dl & IgG - 1760 mg/dl) and before Ig level test i also done one more hiv test on 9/Sep/2010 and its come negative (15 month after exposure) and in CBC my Necrophiliac come Low 35% and my Lymphocyte come high 50%.
1) What all This test indicates?
2) Should i need more test or any other test for HIV?
3) Should i consider my self HIV Negative?
4) Should my Ig level indicates about XLA and CVID?
5) Is my all HIV test are Conclusive & reliable?
6) Should i do Sex with my wife without protection?
7) My High IgG level indicates HIV?
Thanks for reading my full post and for your reply.

As long as you have tested negative at 3 months then you are HIV negative. Period. An HIV test is the only that matters.
If you are having any symptoms that bother you then you should discuss them with your doctor.
...and in the future you need to remember to always use a condom for vaginal and anal intercourse. No exceptions. Do that and you will be well protected against the sexual transmission of HIV.
Right now you have no cause for concern about HIV.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your valuable reply. Sir i am worried about my high IgG level because read some where that high IgG level is due to HIV. This information keeping me worried more and more. Sir what do you indicate my IgG level is due to HIV? 2) Do you think my IgG level 1760 mg/dl is High like HIV? 3) As per your view should i need more test for HIV?
Thanks for your time.

Stop playing doctor with yourself. It's absolutely clear that HIV is not an issue for you. If you have questions about test results you should be discussing them with the doctor who ordered the tests.
HIV is not your problem and it won't be in the future as long as you consistently without exception use a condom everytime you have either vaginal or anal intercourse. No exceptions. Period.

HIV is not your problem and it won't be in the future as long as you consistently without exception use a condom everytime you have either vaginal or anal intercourse. No exceptions. Period... What does it means sorry to ask this because my English is poor and sir one more thing i had one more exposure before 7 month and that was condom protection but i don't know weather this condom was good or not because she being that condom. Should i safe with that exposure also? and i keep your words in my mind always. I never do sex with any other women if by mistake i done i always used condom. Thanks for your help.

Keep this simple. As long as you always use a condom for intercourse you are well protected and there is no need to worry about HIV.
You don't have anything to worry about now.
-
Sir you means that my High IgG level is mining less and my test was Conducive & Reliable for my both exposure and i don't have HIV, right? Please reply me for last time. Thanks in advance

om,
Your high IgG level is meaningless. You are conclusively hiv negative.
You do NOT have hiv.

You don't have HIV and you were told the same thing on Medhelp. Move on.

Expects please reply...

You have absolutely reliably tested negative for HIV. What is causing or caused your symptoms has nothing to do with HIV. If any symptoms persist you should be discussing them with your doctor. HIV is not the cause.
We do advise anyone who is sexually active to regularly have a full panel of STD tests done as other sexually-related diseases are much easier to acquire than HIV. That means doing those tests at least once a year.
And pleae understand I am not saying a sexually related disease is your problem. We cannot diagnose anything in this setting. All I can tell you will certainty is that HIV is not your problem. And as long as you consistenly use condoms for vaginal and anal intercourse you will be well protected.
Again, HIV is not your problem. Period.

I've only just noticed you had begun a new thread. Our rule here is that all entries are to be in the same thread. Do not begin anymore new threads.
And now that I have read your previous thread it becomes clear you are obsessing unnecessarily about this issue and have been for sometime. I am going to warn you that if you return here again with the same issue when you are clearly HIV negative, you will get a Time Out from the site. HIV is not your problem. Period.

Dear Andy Sir,
Thanks for you reply... For a last time i want to clear some point about my exposure, testing & Symptoms.
1) RASHES i and my wife has same type of rash... Is it possible to have same time same type and almost same place of rashes due to HIV?
2) As per my doctor there is no chance for false negative after western blot (My result was 110% reliable) is it true?
3) My my has epilapsy and without any conversation she has Full body pain & sever head pain from last night are this symptoms sound like HIV?
4) As you mention word period when you reply... that means it is possible to became positive later for this exposure?
5) As per your view what do thing about False Negative in my case?
6) i future if i get any symptoms should i need more test or worried about hiv for this two exposure?
Thanks you

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.
-
I'm going to say this for one final time as simply and as clearly as I can: You have absolutely no basis in HIV science for any further concern about your HIV status. You are HIV negative. Period.
If you return again with more what ifs and concerns you are going to get a Time Out from the site.
HIV is not your problem. Period.

om,
1. Many things can cause a rash. Whatever is causing yours is not hiv. You have conclusively ruled hiv out of the picture. You do not have hiv.
2. It is true that you have not had a false negative result. You do not have hiv.
3. No it does not sound like hiv.
4. When Andy said "period", he meant like the dot - some call it a full-stop - that appears at the end of a sentence. In other words, you do not have hiv, end of story.
5. We have repeated told you that you have reliably and conclusively tested hiv negative far outside the window period. You do not have hiv.
6. If you have further symptoms, see your doctor. Whatever is going on has nothing to do with hiv as you have (again) reliably and conclusively tested hiv negative far outside the window period. You do not have hiv and you could be missing something important by insisting it has to be hiv. It cannot be hiv. You do not have hiv.
You will not be permitted to use this forum to repeatedly question your conclusive negative hiv results. If you keep posting about this, you WILL be given that time out you've been warned about. PLEASE CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED FOR THE LAST TIME!!!
You do not have hiv. Be happy about that and let this go.
