First of all, stop worrying. You are only HIV-positive only if a test proves it. In your case your results show you are HIV-negative.<\/p>\n
Go to your GP, so that he\/she checks you up for the ‘symptoms’. There are many and diverse reasons that can lead to enlarged lymph nodes and all the rest that you describe. If necessary she\/he will refer you to the appropriate specialists.<\/p>\n
All the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Dear i-Base,
\nThank you for running this site, it has helped me immensly over the last few weeks. Please let me explain my problem, I stupidly slept with one girl unprotected whose status I did not know over the course of about two weeks. I then developed some funny symptoms about 4-5 weeks later so googled them which was a big mistake as HIV flashed up, so I went for a HIV duo test and full STD screen at a private clininc. It was all negative, however my sore throat continued.<\/p>\n
So at 7 weeks I sheepishly returned and got another DUO test, again negative. My symptoms have been ongoing though and at around 9 weeks my lymph nodes in my groin and neck started swelling and i had ‘sensations’ for want of a better in the other nodes around my body. I again decided on an HIV DUO test at 9.5 weeks which was negative again.<\/p>\n
However, I have had a rash, thrush, lymph nodes enlarged and a fever but keep coming up negative. The HIV consultant told me there was no chance I could have HIV after all these tests but I’m still worried as to why all these things are cropping up, would you have any advice on what to do?<\/p>\n
Please help!<\/p>\n
PS – i’m usually very athletic and haven’t been ill for years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-608","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\/608","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24371,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions\/24371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
