these are awful symptoms, and for medicine to not work too, must be so frustrating. How are you dealing with all of this? I hope we can provide some information, although we are not medical professionals so can't advise you.
We can't interpret your test results, but we do know that HIV tests taken 6 months after a potential exposure are 99.9 percent accurate. If your HIV tests were taken 6 months post-exposure, you can trust the results. Typically, people may experience an incorrect result if an HIV test is taken within the first 2 months of a possible exposure; this period of time is called the "window period". However, outside window period, false-negative are rare with HIV test. For more information, see here: https://www.aidsmap.com/about-hiv/false-negative-results-hiv-tests - Liz (Team Member)
Alafia (Peace) I just wanted to check in with you to see how you are doing. I understand how the shingles and the particular area it continues to manifest has to be very irritating and frustrating. What does your provider say about the medicine not working? Have you had a spinal tap? I did went I had shingles and it was done to determine if I had any other issues. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
