On 70th day I checked for HIV 1 and 2 antibody test . test came non reactivate.

But I have one swollen lymph nodes in my groin area.and I am feeling symptoms like loss of weigh, loss of appetite,extreme tiredness. I think all these symptoms because of HIV. Please help me.

Hi Lal. I am unable to comment on the tests taken as I only know about the BioSURE HIV self test in enough detail however I would recommend taking the BioSure test at 82 days to confirm the negative test results. The symptoms you have described could be a cause of anything and it is unlikely to be HIV. At 82 days the BioSure self test will give you a conclusive negative test result. I hope this helps.
