hiv after 4 yrs from test ? Posted: 06-06-08 03:39am
4 yrs ago I had sex with a man (don't know
his hiv status) and after 6 1/2months I
got warts (on genitals and inside mouth).
So I got tested for any STD including HIV
at 7 months after exposure. the hiv test
came back negative.during the 3 weeks
while awaiting the test results I started
feeling sick with fever, sore throat and
swollen glands in the neck, felt tired all
over for the next 5 weeks and took
antibitotics which didn't help, but i
still went to work and my fever used to be
about 100. In the mean time the hiv test
came back and it was negative. So I went
to the doc to see what was causing the
fever, soar throat, tiredness etc. he said
it could be glandular fever and he
conducted some blood tests. after 3weeks
all tests came negative except one which
was positive and the doc said it was from
the virus.
now my question is could hiv have appeared
in the glandular fever results?
now 4yrs passed and I've been sick for
nearly the last 2 months with something
like tonsilitis which keeps returning
after taking antibiotics. i'm very worried
now and would appreciate if someone can
answer me seriously

This doesn't sound like HIV symptoms. Your
doctor is right. Have him test you for
other STDS. Write down all your symptoms
so you don't forget to mention anything
and tell your doctor you are still having
issues with your health. It may not be an
STD at all, it could be a number of things
but HIV isn't one of them. If your still
not convinced then by all means, get re
tested.

thanks for replying homerx. well mostly im
worried because exactly after i did my hiv
test i have been having symptoms of
glandular fever and therefore i was asking
whether after 7 months the hiv test is
accurate? cos the doctor didn't mention to
do another one just in case. moreover
yesterday i received my CBC blood results
and everything was within limits. however
i saw lymphocytes are 1.61 (normal level
is between 1.6 and 3.5 i think). do you
think they're normal or somehow low? cos i
got the results directly from hospital and
noone explained them to me. thanks for
having the patience to answer.
