Sorry to keep bugging you all. I just was wondering if there was a way to find out what generation test was used for my HIV. Would the doctor know? Like I said before I had a negative test at 4 weeks and 8 1/2 weeks. Now I am stressing on getting the 13 week test and My Doctor is telling me that I dont really need it and that I should just relax. He says alot of my symptoms are stress related. Could stress really cause all these symptoms. Has anyone ever seen someone test negative at 8 weeks and come up positive later on. Thanks once again for all your help everyone! If Andy or Ann or anyone with alot of experience with this issue could respond it would help out alot.
Thanks Matty,
Its just hard because my Doc really feels that I dont need another test and he insists that all my symptoms are stress related. It's like everywhere I turn lately it is like another symptom pops out of nowhere on me. I have never really been sick my entire life. I have been a Soldier for seven years and never sick once, now all of sudden boom after this risky encounter with a female, 2 months later my body just goes to crap. I know everyone probably just thinks im overreacting but its hard not to. Reading everyones threads helps to know there are alot of people out there just like me but it still worries me. well I will try and convince him that I need another test, but I am still worried for the result.
Matty,
I had unprotected (vaginal) sex with a female about 6 times total. almost 12 weeks ago. Is it true that it is hard for the penetrator to catch the virus. so the 8 1/2 week elisa is fairly indicative of what my outcome would be at 13 weeks because my Doc keeps telling me that i am overreacting and dont need a 13 week.
I was just very anxious over everything and it didnt seem like anyone was replying to my thread.
