Question
Shall I retest?
17 October 2008. Related: All topics, HIV testing.
Hello,
I have been really worried about my symptom. I tested negative with Oraquick blood test from finger stick 4 months after exposure. And I have been really worried since then. I have had sore throat for about two months or more, is it related to stress or should i retest?
Thank you very much!
Answer
A sore throat for 2 months needs to be seen by your GP, I would suggest. There are numerous reasons that can lead to it and HIV is perhaps the most improbable in your case, keeping in mind that you have had a negative result recently.
Self-diagnosis can be dangerous, hence perhaps it is better to discuss the issue with a medical professional.
All the best!
