Could I Have Contracted HIV Despite Negative Test Results?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor- i had protected sex with sex worker on 19-sep and on 28-sep my right testical was sensetive and large in size but urologist confirmed nothing to worry. Still i took HIV Duo 4th generation test and the result were negative on 01-OCT. again later that week i started feeling low followed by soar throat and weekness and metalic taste mouth. Again on 18-Oct i repeated 4th generation test and it was negative too. Since then i feel like i got hiv infection and looks like i’m loosing weight. Please help and advise, is this just overthinking or i got infected.

The symptoms you're experiencing like a sore throat, weakness, and metallic taste could be due to many things - maybe just a regular viral infection or stress. It's common to feel a bit anxious after such an experience, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have HIV. Keep an eye on your symptoms, stay hydrated, eat well, and get enough rest. If things persist or worsen, it's always a good idea to follow up with your sexologist for further evaluation.
