Hi,

You've had 13 negative HIV tests out to 24 weeks. Exactly which part of "HIV negative" are you having difficulty understanding? Yes, your repeatedly negative tests are definitive, conclusive, excessive and WOO-HOO-able. Symptoms are notoriously unreliable in predicting who is and is not HIV infected! A negative HIV antibody test outside the window period trumps symptoms each and every time.

Stop worrying and start WOO-HOO-ing.
