Why do my hiv/aids tests come back negative but i still have the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are HIV negative: If your HIV tests are repeatedly negative, then you are negative. I'm not sure what you mean by symptoms of HIV - probably need to be more specific, but the symptoms (such as fever, sweats, weight loss) of HIV are very nonspecific. This means that fever, sweats and weight loss can be caused by other infections (like the flu, common cold, tuberculosis, or fungal infections) or cancer, not only hiv.
