Hi Convinced. We all have many worries that would keep us up at night but HIV is not one of yours. I would recommend going to see your GP as they will be able to give you more information regarding these symptoms, they are not due to HIV. You really do need to try and put the incident behind you and move on. I hope this makes sense. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd

hi miss bard thank you for all your responses..I just somehow can not shake this feeling its like its stuck in my head and its driving me crazy I still suffer from muscles twitching/spasms,pain in stomach and clicking sometimes painful joints these things along with other things are making it very hard for me to move on from this episode in my life sometimes I also have this buzzing feeling in my head I spend every night sitting up and crying

Hi convinced. With all the BioSure HIV self tests you have performed it is basically impossible that they would all give a false negative. I have already said and I know it is easier said than done however the best thing to do is accept the negative test results and move on from the incident. I hope this helps. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd

hi miss bard my anxiety over hiv wont leave me so while I was at the mall shopping I purchased another biosure hiv self test which I dd in my car turn out negative this was on 31st January 2019 nd my exposure was on 17 june 2018 I have been told that there are rare and new strains of hiv that biosure test can not detect and that even though I had symptoms I stil could have not have produced a detectable amount of antibodies I almost lost mind when I was tld it could take years before I would know if I had hiv or not im considering ending my life cause if I have it I would've past it on to my wife and I cannot live with having done that

Hi Convinced. Yes, that conclusion is correct. Having unprotected sex with your wife would not be a cause of a false result. I hope you had a lovely new year. Best wishes Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd

Hi miss bard thank you so much for your help with I have calmed down a little..just to be sure if I'm understanding you right are you telling me that I can rely on the results of my negative Biosure test at 185 days since possible exposure even if I have been having unprotected sex with my wife this whole time?

Hi Convinced, it is my pleasure answering your questions - it is what I am here for. If you had HIV and had passed it onto your wife a positive line would've appeared on your test. There is no need to re-test. I hope this makes sense. Best wishes Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd

Thank you very much for your quick response miss Bard. Please do tell me that if I have contracted HIV and then passed it on to my wife and we have been having unprotected sex these past six months could my HIV test results be affected by this? is it even possible to be reinfected by my wife after I have infected her could that have affected my antibody response causing all these test to be false negatives?  I am extremely stressed and anxious all the time I just need to know before I spend on the very expensive viral load test.

Hi Convinced, I would like to start by saying you have done the correct thing by testing. You can now stop worrying - the chances of 1 BioSure HIV self giving a false negative is extremely low however 4 is virtually impossible. There are really only two things that can affect the result of a BioSure HIV self test. The first being on anti-retroviral treatment for HIV and the other would be if you have been vaccinated against HIV. We all have many worries in our lives but for you HIV is not one. I would also like to recommend against testing again unless you have another possible exposure as this will only prolong your acceptance of the negative test result. I hope this helps put your mind at rest but please don't hesitate to contact me further. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd
