I'm really concerned about my HIV status after having an unprotected encounter with a sex worker. I've taken several tests: an HIV Antibody Test at 21 days and at 2 monthswhich were both negativethen a CMIA Method test at 12 weeks, and a Rapid Test at 3 months. I also did a CMIA test at 20 and 22 weeks, and all these were negative too. Are these results considered conclusive? I've been experiencing some issues like recurring colds, muscle and joint pains, and low levels of Vitamin D and B. Could these symptoms mean something? I'm just worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Based on the negative results from multiple HIV tests at various intervals, it is highly unlikely that you are HIV-positive. However, the symptoms you're experiencing, such as recurring colds, muscle and joint pain, and low vitamin levels, may indicate other underlying health issues. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to further investigate these symptoms and address any deficiencies.
