 Hello, First of all, you might want to hit the "caps lock" button on your keyboard. Next, no, I have not personally seen seroconversions beyond 14.5 weeks using the newer generation of HIV antibody tests. Finally, I believe you correctly identified your problem when you wrote: ". . . I CAN'T HELP THINKING THAT MAYBE I DO HAVE HIV . . . ." BINGO! There's your problem. You can't help thinking (worrying) despite irrefutable evidence that you are HIV negative. You need to get psychotherapy (counseling) to help you accept the truly wonderful news that you dodged the HIV bullet and are HIV negative. Stop worrying and start WOO-HOO-ing. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
