not a false negative?
Last year I slept with three different people. We didn’t use condoms. – I won’t be making the same mistake in the future.
The first contact was only oral sex . I wasn’t particularly worried but a few weeks later I developed a dry cough and other symptoms. I went to the doctor and it cleared up with a course of antibiotics. But recently I read how flu symptoms are an early sign of HIV, so I start panicking and ordered a BioSure test.
There’s no reason to believe any of the people I had contact with have HIV, but because I’m unsure of their status I started to worry.
I took a BioSure test today. This is 6 months after my last sexual encounter with anyone. It was very easy and at the end of the 15 minutes there was a bold control line (so the test definitely worked!) and no second line whatsoever. It was like a picture perfect test – other than the control line the rest of the strip was perfectly blank, not even a hint of a second line.
I’m still a bit worried, so want to ask :- Should I order another test to be certain?
