HIV symptoms, negative tests Posted: 05-12-08 05:23am
Hi,
I have a story about 8 months length. I am
from Europe and at SEP 2007 I had vocation
in Turkey. I met a Turkish male and we had
unprotected sex 4 times, 2 times protected
sex. After I came back, I started to have
health problems. - swollen lymphs, red
neck, fever, white tounge, oral trush,
night and day sweats, rash on body - like
from the book. That time I breastfeeded my
two years old baby. After some time she
started to have the same symptoms
+vomiting, running nose all the time,
geographic tongue. For all this time I
have made ~20 HIV tests - Elisa 4th
generation, one test for my baby too.
After 8 months thanks Good, all negative,
but symptoms still are present. Could
Elisa test not catch some rare strains
that are in Turkey and Egypt. What could
else it be??? Do I need to test for virus
not antibodies?
Please help, I am so scared for my baby.
please...

Hello. You should have a blood test done
and have the doctor check for any and all
STDs, not just HIV. Make sure you tell
your doctor of all your symptoms. Do not
leave anything out. Write them all down so
that when you get to the doctors office
you don't forget to mention anything. Also
have them take your child's blood for
testing.It could be a number of things so
have them take a blood sample and tell
them to test for everything that they can
think of. Good luck to you and your child
and let us know how you 2 are doing. Do
not worry. You will get the answers to the
problem. Just be vigilant .

I tested + for chlamydia. They can not
find anything else, just say - you will be
fine. But I feel that I have HIV and my
baby too. I can not take it anymore. One
more thing - after 6months window period
I started to have sex with my husband
without condom, because everyman says I am
HIV-. And he started the same symptoms -
red neck, fever, diarrhea.... Can it be -
20 negative tests and be Positive. I had
HIV 1/2 Axxsym Abbott combo test.
Please say that I do not have HIV, because
if I do, then my baby does too, and my
husband also. I am so scared.
One stupid mistake and life is going
down.
Please, please help!

I don't think you have HIV...its stress
probably combined with guilt. If you have
been tested over and over and it comes
back negative then accept it. Be happy it
isn't HIV and find out what it is by being
pro active and talking openly and honestly
to your doctor. Your child does not need
to have a parent who is over reacting and
guilt ridden. Get it together for the
babies sake and do the right thing. If all
the doctors and clinics are saying you are
HIV- then you are HIV-. It almost sounds
like you are disappointed with the
results. You don't know how lucky you are.
I have AIDS. It is not glamorous or
something you would wish on any one.
Accept the test results and concentrate on
what the real problem is. Find out. You
know it isn't HIV. So tell your doctor and
move on to other tests. You are a parent
so do the right thing for the sake of your
child. And never cheat on your spouse
again. I am sure it was not worth the
torture and heartache...

Thank You so much. Very sad to hear You
are positive.
I am just so afraid and feel so guilt as
you said. I am crying all 8 months now and
I know for sure - that was not worth.
Thank You one more time.
All the best to You.
Your be fine...put this behind you and
move on...think good thoughts and I will
say a prayer for you...Love,Homer
