Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n
If you have had three negative HIV tests then you do not have HIV. It is possible you have just had a bad case of the flu but you need to see your GP about this for them to investigate what is causing these symptoms other than HIV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I had unprotected vaginal sex Aug 2010. About 8 weeks after the incident I developed oral thrush which I still have now 18 weeks after the incident. After 15 weeks I got the worst flu of my life, diarrhoea, headaches, sore throat, fever of 103 for the better part of a whole week. I have had three different treatments for the oral thrush and none of them have worked. I have tested negative for HIV with a rapid test at 12 weeks, an ELISA at 15 weeks and another rapid test at 16.5 weeks but given my continued oral thrush and the ‘flu’ that I had for a week where I could not even get out of bed is it possible that my tests were inaccurate and that I am taking longer to sero-convert?<\/p>\n
I am positive that I have HIV but for some reason the antibodies are not showing yet, please advise as I am terrified and not sure what to do, thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-testing","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3551"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24561,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3551\/revisions\/24561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
