Question 1

had protected sex and after two years of exposure took rapid test. it was negative. is this test is conclusive. is weight loss is only symptom of hiv after three years of exposure. i had stress and high pressure work?

Accepted Answer

: Almost certainly you do not have HIV, which does not cause weight loss as the only symptom. However, the rapid tests miss 2-4% of HIV infections. For 100% proof you do not have HIV, have a lab-based blood test.

Question 2

last question promise! if i cant have hiv symptoms in lieu of a negative test at 32 days post exposure whats the chances of it turning positive after 32 days and symptoms starting?

Accepted Answer

: Zero.

Question 3

can hiv already show symptoms 5 days after exposure?

Accepted Answer

Soon: That's a little soon.  Symptoms usually occur in 1-4 weeks, with 2 weeks being fairly average.

Question 4

can hiv cause symptoms after 10
days of an exposure ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Takes longer to become symptomatic, blood testing this soon might still be negative, should be rechecked at 3 months and 6 months

Question 5

can hiv primary symptoms appear 47 days after exposure?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Acute anti retrovirus syndrome usually occurs two to four weeks after exposure to and infection with HIV and often presents with fever, sore throat, rash and swollen lymph nodes.

Question 6

is it possible to heal hiv symptoms as early as 8 days after possible exposure?

Accepted Answer

Heal or have Sxs?: I will answer when someone could have symptoms of acute hiv. Usually symptoms occur 2 -4 weeks after exposure but they can occur within 8 days. Often someone feels like they have the flu - run down, fever, sore throat, etc. The HIV virus can be detected in the blood within about 2 weeks, but the antibody can take 3-6 months to be detected. It is important to tell your provider if you are concerned.

Question 7

is it possible for hiv symptoms to occur just 4 days after possible exposure then disappear (symptoms)after just 1 day??

Accepted Answer

Acute HIV.: There is such a thing as "acute retroviral syndrome", wherein symptoms of a flu-like illness along with diffuse lymph node enlargements can occur during the first week after contact.  But symptoms of that generally last more than just one day.  If there's a concerning sexual contact, though, get to a doctor right away for acute HIV testing.

Question 8

i had all the symptoms of hiv but my tests result was negative ?  
i did 4 teste p24 combo at 21, 47, 82, 83 days after exposure

Accepted Answer

Well, I : Would take another test later but HIV doesn't have many symptoms until u get aids, that's why we screen for the virus.  Whatever is going on it doesn't sound like hiv.

Question 9

from a medical point of view, it it possible for a hiv to start showing symptoms within 2 days post exposure(unprotected) and why ?

Accepted Answer

Won't happen: Forget "possible". It takes a few weeks for enough of the virus to be on board to initiate the acute illness. Look for some other cause of the person's symptoms.

Question 10

if i get tested for hiv 8 weeks after exposure and i already had primary infection symptoms 47 days after exposure, is reliable?

Accepted Answer

Completely reliable: First, primary HIV symptoms always start by10-15 days. Symptoms starting at 47 days are not due to HIV from that exposure. Second, all currently standard HIV blood tests, i.e. newer antibody tests ("3rd generation") or antigen-antibody tests ("4th generation") are conclusive at 8 weeks. Assuming no exposure more recently, you don't have HIV.
