Hello BadLuck, I hope you are trying to be strong as each day goes by. You have already tested negative twice, which is a very good sign that you are not infected. Most medical sources say that the average (not most people, but average) time of production of detectable antibodies is 25 days (red cross says that), with 3 months being where most people are detected, and 6 months being the maximum.
So, you tested negative at 8 weeks, it means that most likely you are not infected. Your symptoms...what to do with the symptoms?? I have been at the ******** forum, and have read about people who have tested negative at 6months and they have had symptoms for more than 6 months...with swollen glands and all...so what would you make of that...what to trust...?? the test? or the symptoms...beased on the fact that no doctor can diagnose HIV based on symptoms, I'd say its best to trust the test...whatcha think?
So, just hang in there, and at 12-13 weeks just take your final test, you'll see it will be negative!
I understand your anxiety because I am going through a lot too, and I have not tested yet...I will test at 7 weeks and see what I come up with, I also have a lot of symptoms, including swollen nodes and pain everywhere (have had them for a month, and they are getting worse). I hope to be negative, but if not, we'll see how things turn out to be.
Take care! J2k
