Dear Doctor

You have always put my anxiety at ease, I request you to help me put this case at rest forever.

1. As you said, if my symptoms were related to HIV then test will come positive, I got tested today - HIV Combi Roche Diag (ECLIA) and is Negative. Does this means that my current symptoms are not related to HIV whatsoever.

2. Can I finally put this case at rest forever and lead my normal sexual life with my wife without any concern from the incident mentioned in ques # 10862

You have always been kind to me Doctor I will always be grateful.

This is a repetitive question. As I mentioned, this follow-up is really unnecessary. I will reply to this and up to 2 follow-ups but that should complete these interactions and should you return with a new sert of questions, your question may be closed without a response and without return of your positing fee.

1. I anticipate that your test will be negative because the events you describe were no risk events.. This will absolutely prove that your symptoms are not due to HIV.

2. Yes, you can certainly put your fears and worries about the encounter you describe aside and move forward without concern. There is no reason related to that encounter to hesitate to have unprotected sex with your wife.
