After exposure, my 10 month HIV test report is negative. At the time of exposure, there was bleeding from the penis. My first test at 7 months after exposure was negative, second test at 8 months was negative, and third test at 9 months was negative. However, I have some symptoms in my body, including mouth ulcers, a small red spot on the penis, body rash, joint pain, and muscle pain.

Three negative HIV tests post 7, 8, and 9 months are considered conclusive. Symptoms like rash, joint pain are non specific. Consult a dermatologist and physician. Anxiety may also mimic symptoms.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a HIV DUO (ANTIGEN AND ANTIBODY) Test or Take a VDRL Test (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) Test

I did HIV Tridot test after 10 months of exposure and the result showed negative and with the lab report they attached the kit also. In anxiety after 1 week I checked the kit and I could see a brown circle with white inside at HIV 2. Is my test really negative? Could it be dust or something that caused the layer of circle at HIV 2?
