Andres,

The amygdala is part of the brain and I doubt whether yours is missing.

According to your thread in the old forum,, you didn't have a risk of hiv infection in the first place and not only that, but you also have a thirteen week negative hiv test result.

You are hiv negative.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Andres,

Further research tells me that you mean you do not have tonsils.

The absence of tonsils will not make one bit of difference where hiv testing is concerned.

You have a conclusive negative result for a no-risk incident. It's time for you to move on with your life.

Andres,

You can believe who you want to, but the answers in this forum will not change.

You have conclusively tested negative for a non-risk event. You do not need further testing. You are hiv negative.

I have to wonder why you are coming back here when you have already reliably tested negative when you didn't have a valid need for testing to begin with.

And then apparently you continue to solicit opinions from other doctors to feed your HIV jitters -- for what purpose I don't know.

Keep searching and you will surely find some who will tell you to test out to a year or beyond. Of course that's all ridiculous, but you're apparently not interested in the realities of HIV science.

I think we've done whatever we can for you here. Endgame.

You do not have HIV and this is not an HIV situation. Period.
