Should I Retest Again for HIV @ 6th Month....?
Posted: 10-14-07 05:54am

I am 24 yrs old from THailand.....First of all, I am so sorry about my english communication....some words or sentenses may seen weird...

Last 3 months, I had 1-2 minutes anal unprotected sex ,I am gay male-recepiption.....
Then I am so so worry because I ve cough for a week...
My blood check history are
- 6 weeks : Anti HIV I/II Stat =Non Reative by Eclia (Sens 100% , Spec 99.1%)
- 8 weeks : Anti HIV Immunochromonography = Non Reactive
- 72 Days (I don't know what kind of test they used) but the result cam NEGATIVE
- 75 Days "HIV PCR TEST" = Negative by nested
- 12 Weeks : Anti HIV I/II Stat =Non Reative by Eclia (Sens 100% , Spec 99.1%)

However, I had coughed for 2 week (without having fever during 80th day after exposure) The doctor told me that I was infected with some kind of virus according to less relaxation and anxity(Sleep Late...woke up early..which all are actially true) The cough gone within 2 weeks...Will this be because of HIV?

Furthermore, I was so worried ....I really don't want to wait till 6 months.....I cried everyday, can't sleep everyday.....
so I called my partner who I previously had sex with to have blood check @ 87 -90 days after exposure (Which he claimed that the last time he had unprotect sex was very long, longer than 3 months) THe result is ...: Anti HIV I/II Stat =Non Reative by Eclia (Sens 100% , Spec 99.1%)

Please help me....
1. Is ECLIA ok to check for HIV ? I called blood test lab...The tester told me that they used ELISA GEN 4th to do blood test..She also told me that ECLIA is the same as ELISA but use a different detection (.Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay) Which I didn't understand much in tecnical term and usage. She also told me don't come again @ 6th moth because both of us was not infected....But I am here to ask a lot of very nice and kind expert...PLease help me!
2 Do I have to recheck again at 6 months.....It is torturing to wait more 3 month to have again at 6th mnth.
3.. Can I goback to normal life now? Should I stop worrying? Should I stop crying?

Best wish to all of you and Thank you in advance
MIC

Have you noticed flu-like symptoms two to four weeks after you had unprotected sex?
Did you have dry cough?
Having test on the 3th month and after that on 6th month after suspected exposure is usually recommended.
Do you have skin rush?
