[Question #12108] Doubt regarding test

10 months ago

Sir I did Tridot test after 61 days it came negative I give this test for medical insurance that I applied but I am having doubts that my test was not conclusive I read in some of your posts that only antibodies test is conclusive after 8 weeks but in my case I got dengue fever at 45 days so I am thinking that dengue fever influenced test results I know that I don’t need testing for my exposure but I can’t help myself I need multiple assurances.

This is a repetitive anxiety driven question and the answer is obvious from your several previous threads. The result shows again that you do not have HIV. Previous replies have also informed you it is not possible to have HIV symptoms and test negative. Therefore, your fever cannot be due to HIV. The forum is not available for repeated "multiple assurances."

This thread will have no discussion. Also please note the forum policy against repeated questions on the same topic. This must be your last on low risk exposure, HIV testing, etc. Repeated anxiety driven questions are subject to being deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee. We're not keen on collecting fees for questions with obvious answers; repeated replies often prolong anxiety rather than relieving it (there's so often a "yes but" or "could I be the exception" sort of thinking); and such questions have reduced education value for other users, one of the forum's goals. Thank you for your understanding.

I do hope the discussions have been useful. Best wishes to you.
