If your test results are valid, you do not have hiv. Unintentional weight loss.of that magnitude calls for a complete medical checkup by your MD or a specialist in internal medicine before you can attribute it to being from persistent anxiety.

Unintentional weight loss is a cause for concern. You should see your primary care provider for an evaluation and to ascertain if referral to a gastroenterologist may be warranted. Wish you good health!
