hi Doctor,

Welcome back but I really don't understand why you found it necessary. Did you expect our evaluation and advice to change? Your previous two threads make it clear you do not have HIV and therefore that no symptoms you have can possibly be caused by it. Here are some of Dr. Hook's and my replies in those discussions:

From Dr. Hook:  "...with two negative tests at 88 and 100 days, there is simply NO way you could have acquired HIV from the encounter you describe. If you look at my reply to your question. 'Uniformly and entirely conclusive…' there is no way you could have HIV from the encounter you describe."

From me:  "Your blood tests at 88 days are 100% reliable. There are NO medications or medical conditions that have any effect on the reliability of timing of the HIV gAb (4th generation) blood tests. No antibiotic has any effect. The biotin business you discussed with Dr. Hook is rare if it occurs at all; and never happens with the standard doses used in multivitamins or in conditioning programs. Your negative HIV test result proves for sure you do not have HIV. No more testing is needed."

 

"Your negative results are 100% proof you were not infected."

We haven't changed our minds! On top of all that, you now describe still additional HIV test results. What makes you even have the remotest concern about symptoms that are entirely typical for a mild cold -- when we're in the middle of the common cold season? Further, there are no medical conditions (including H. pylori) that alter the timing or reliability of any of the standard HIV tests. It simply never happens.

We of course are entirely aware of the anxieties that can follow a regretted sexual experience, and perhaps especially one in which you may have actually acquired an STD, the trichomonas. Still, you can't go through life attributing every twitch, tingle or sniffle to that event. 

Let me know if anything isn't clear.

HHH, MD

Thank you for the response Doctor.

It is nonsensical that you tested at 88 and 100 days after an event in late October and then thought it might actually have happened one or two months later. Even though you "verified" October 28??? I will not play such a game.---

Doctor please understand that i dont go to the CSW often. I was not playing games but my mind is for sure. I checked my phone records and transactions and came to the conclusion of October 28, 2023. I thought what if i missed the date from my phone call log or the c card transactions. Hence got paranoid and did the testing for NAT which i thought is conclusive in 11 days. I did not have any encounter after that. With all honesty i am still talking about the same encounter. I apologize if i came the wrong way.

Your two previous threads were very specific on the dates, and I do not buy the idea that you could be one or even two months wrong in your estimate of the date. Clearly that did not happen. And even if it did, your latest tests were conclusive even if the previous ones were too early. And you've had the negative RNA/NAT results as well as the AgAb tests. Nobody in the world ever turned out to have HIV in these circumstances and you will not be the first.---
