HIV test reliability: HIV testing overrules all other factors No matter how high the risk at the time of exposure, and no matter how typical the symptoms, negative test results -- especially with the different kinds of tests you have had -- prove with 100% certainty you do nothave HIV. You should not have any more HIV tests. See a doctor if your symptoms continue; they are not due to HIV. Good luck.
