  2. thank you so much liz since i got the virus 25 days ago it dosent show in regular hiv test thus i made a pcr hiv test and should be ready in few hours but im def sure its hiv because the guy was doging me aggressively in a heartleas way when i tried to confront him and he told me he slept with someone which i know he was positive and hes a junky monkey but yeah no judgment its all on me. i knew he has it thas why i know its acute hiv symptoms.. im in agony trying to grasp some air due to broncho inflammation i had to go to the er today for some steam therapy to dialate them.. im still puzzled of how am i supposed to feel better from these acute symptoms since i didnt get my test result yet its been 3 days i couldnt sleep just grasping some air my whole body on fire .. fatigue .. nausia insomnia and shattered mentally .. i couldnt bare it i had to do some mms solution an hour ago and it put me at ease.. sighh i cant wait for the pcr result so i get medicated asap.. love u all and pray for me ❤️

    1. hi liz i did hiv pcr quantitive test after 23rd day of exposure and it showed not detected ! Im really confused and maybe i shouldnt jump into conclusions ?! I also got viral infection heavy breathing like covid but tested neg for covid.. my while body still itch tho im really confused ive seen many docs and no one could relate to my issue sigh thanks for asking and sorry to bother u guys

    2. Hi . It is no bother, we are here to help. You confusion and anxiety are understandable. It is often a good idea to not jump to conclusions. I want to share this article from our editorial team on different types of HIV tests, which includes information on the window for testing: https://h-i-v.net/test-types. I also want to share this page from Stanford Health which notes that the PCR test for HIV is the most accurate and "may be performed just days or weeks after exposure to HIV:" https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/sexual-and-reproductive-health/hiv-aids/diagnosis/pcr.html. You mention seeing multiple doctors. Have you spoken to a dermatologist about the itch? I only ask because there are many potential causes for that and dermatologists have extensive training in this area that other doctors do not. Really hoping you can get some answers soon.

  3. Hey richard !

    Thanks for your feedback you have no idea how much it's appreciated .. ive visited many doctors and everyone tells me a different story of the best way to get test result one was sufficient with pcr quantitive test.. the other was like ag test in 6 weeks and another says 90 days to be on the safe side .. and yet all of them misdiagonised my current condition whichs hsv2 ! How do i know ? Because i exhibts all of its symptoms and it all start from an anus touch! The infection got really agressive And it caused me a semi meningitis i had to google the medicine Acyclovir after a long hectic weeks before it wqs too late and from the first dosage i felt way better ! But that still dosent leave me not paranoid from what the doctors says about the other hiv tests that i should do.. funny thing is hsv2 didnt show up in the urine pcr test on the 23rd day of exposure for some reason nor hiv pcr quantitive test.. so one can be suspecious u know.. im still suffering from mild symptoms like nasuea fatigue headachs chills itchiness i really hope this nightmare gets over.. 8 more days to finish hsv treatment and then ill do antibodies hiv test on the 6th week from exposure .. please pray for me and thanks again.. endless lessing
