Possible exposure to HIV
Hi, I had a possible exposure 8 weeks ago. Within the first couple of weeks after this I obtained a cough and sore throat.
Further on from this I was hospitalised with hypertension blood pressure was literally through the roof 160/125. I’m 35 and lean very healthy (well was) . I’ve been on medication to reduce my pressure which I’m controlling to around 140/90 can’t get it any lower at the moment. The 6th week I started getting white tongue or oral thrush and now on 8th week developing ulcers. My whole body is aching and get night sweats although I’ve always had this I maybe just noticing this more through worry. I haven’t had the flu or fever and have no rash..I took a biosure test at 7 weeks and 8 weeks they are negative. I’m still very tired and lack of energy, I’m eating but I haven’t been,again probably due to worry. My recent bloods are showing 0.71 white cells or something where they should be between 1-4 and liver readings increased.
In between this I did have a bacterial infection and took a high dose of antibiotics. Im sick with worry and get migraines when thinking about it.
I know the tests aren’t conclusive at 8 weeks but do you think it’s more of an anxiety and google issue as I have every symptom on there for hiv ….. Basically what are the chances of the test changing from 8 weeks to 12?
