A member asked:
Tested neg. after 8 week exsposer to hiv. symptoms are muscle aches & swollen glands. is it still possible for hiv? what else could it be? plz help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seroconversion: Seroconversion can take up to 6 months, so a negative test at 8 weeks post-exposure is no guarantee that you do not have HIV. I hope you were able to receive appropriate post-exposure chemoprophylaxis. Muscle aches and swollen glands are vague symptoms that could be caused by a number of different viral infections, or could be an early sign of acute HIV infection. Please see Dr. for more tests.
