  1. I am glad you reached out because I am sure it has been stressful tackling these questions. We are not medical professionals and cannot interpret your test results, but I can give you some information that may be useful as you make decisions in the coming weeks. As I understand it, you have had negative HIV tests for 91 days but a positive EBV and CMV? When you say "positive" do you mean that the test detected EBV?

    I know that the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is known to cause fatigue, is that what you think you are dealing with right now? For more information about test results in general, this article may be useful: https://h-i-v.net/test-types - Liz (Team Member)

    1. Alafia (Peace) It seems that you have done a great deal to check in and test for your overall health. In my opinion I think you should wait and test again at six months. Please keep us posted. Thank you for reaching out to us. We are here for you. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)

      1. Thanks alot for your kindness, but sir did you see cases before all hiv tests I had made changed at 6 months ? Or just for reassurance?
        Thanks

        1. Alafia (Peace) I wanted to check in to see how you are doing? I hope you are feeling great. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)

      2. Update : I took Potassium syrup for 2 weeks and it rised from 3.26 to 3.8 ( normalized) ..
        I am on vitamin D 50,000 I.U per week for 8 weeks
        It is 3rd week and I will update you by status regularly
