Specializes in Infectious Disease

HIV diagnosis: I understand your concern, but you were at low risk: the average chance of transmission during one episode of unprotected vaginal sex with an infected woman averages 1 in 2,500. Your test results prove you do not have HIV, regardless of symptoms; there are no exceptions. All your tests beyond 6-8 weeks were unnecessary. Work with your doc on other causes, but please stop worrying about HIV.
