A member asked:
Is it possible for an hiv 1/2 infection to not be discovered by a number of specialists and 6 combo tests and also hiv2 pcr at six months? cd4+ test normal also at six months. partner tested negative in december on combo test. lots of symptoms on me.

Not possible: The 4th generation ("combo") HIV tests detect all HIV1 and HIV2 infections and so does PCR testing. Test results always overrule exposure history and symptoms. All tests done 6+ weeks after your last exposure were wasted. No matter how high your risk or what your symptoms you have, these results prove HIV is not the cause. Have no more tests and keep working with your doctor about your symptoms.
