6 years ago i had an incident where i slept with a few guys unprotected which i truly am ashamed to mention. Having now been with my current partner for 5 years i decided to go and have a rapid test done as i had worried about it for the past few years but my anxiety and depression made it worse.The reason i went for a rapid test was to get peace of mind. For the past few years i noticed a pea sized gland either side of my groin in the crease but that turns out it is my lymph node as i am very skinny they seem fine to doctors. I also suffered with Pharyngitis a few years back also. As my lymph node are still there to this day and knowing that pharyngitits and lymph node swelling is strongly associated with hiv. Anyway the first test i had was a Insti test which was a 3rd generation and the other i was told was a 4th generation. These tests were done way outside of the window period and both came back as negative. I am a massive worrier anyhow and it is affecting my day to day life. Can i be assured that the 2 tests are right, my partner also took a test , (his was done in hospital) and that came back negative. And could it be possible that they were false negatives? and if i had a viral load of 200 or less the test would show negative supposedly? i PLEASE HELP thankyou x
I also worry if it could be lymphoma but i have felt these glands for the past ten years or so.... i just constantly worry myself sick reading things and symptoms of hiv over the net. 2 of the rapid tests have been negative or non reactive so can i trust both these results? Is it possible that my cell count is so low that hiv could not be detected 5 or 6 years after a possible exposure to hiv ? And whatever is going on with my lymph nodes can i be assured its not hiv.
