After 7 month a negative test is conclusive all those test would not be false negatives -  your symptoms are probably caused by stress because you are worrying so much

Hi AnoymousM Thanks for getting in touch. Sometimes a negative test result can be more difficult to accept than a positive test result. Symptoms for HIV are completely non-specific as they are associated with an antibody response so are very similar to many other viral infections. The good thing about having had symptoms is that if they were due to HIV this means that 2 weeks after the onset of symptoms, then you must have detectable levels of antibodies to HIV in your system. Standard tests will all pick up these antibodies. So in your case the negative results will be reliable and conclusive. Many young babies suffer from viral infections and you are probably looking for the anything that you can describe as a symptom of HIV. On the basis of the history given, I am sure that you can discount HIV as their cause. If you do choose to put yourself at risk of HIV infection in the future, you really do have to consider the impact on your other partners, as this is your responsibility. Condom use during intercourse (even with your wife) is an excellent method of protecting your sexual partners against transmission of HIV and other STI’s. I hope that this helps.
