:confused: please, i am looking for answers everywhere. my doctor isn't even returning my messages.

ok, to start, i have tested negative with antibody testing out to 9 months. a viral load (<50ml is that mean definitely negative???????), but i feel like death, and out of 7 dr.'s, none of them is doing anything. i have had lesions on my soft plate for 9 months steady now, along with a myriad of other symptoms.

here is my main question- is it normal for someone (who for now, at least, is negative) to have T-CELLS of 700? nurse said it was OK, but the more i look, it frightens me. the lymphocytes are borderline low. what should an HIV- persons T-CELLS be?

thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer.

H i am HIV+ and a normal Tcell count for a negative person would be between 800 and 1200. Why don't you have another test done as you know the new medicines are keeping people alive and we are all living a normal life just like before we found out about this dreadful disease. I hope you are alright but, get another test to be sure!!!!

i have had 4 negative HIV 1/2 (at 2,3,4,6 months) and a negative HIV1 oral swab test at 8 months. also <50 ml (undetectable?) at 8 months... do you still think further testing is required?
