dear Cal , After receiving Oral sex/body massage where the masaague massaged my penis (sex worker) i had some flu like symptons etc .I took a 6 week ELISA negative ,10 week ELISA negative along with a PCR RNA <50 copies , 100 days ELISA negative . I also took Hepatitis A,B,C anitbody at 11 weeks which also came back negative . If you remember I was the same guy who had written about 3 months back after I had chickenpox soon after the exposure and to be honest its your words which kept me alive and going so far.However do you even recommend a 6 month test , i have a slight sore throat for a few months now ,but doctor says its some post nasal dripping.pls help for the last time

Response from Dr. Cohen

Yes. get a six month test. Sounds like you are pretty worried and anxious. So do it.

PLEASE however note to all readers that this forum is about treatment strategies, and we have a different forum on here that focusses on questions like this - about whether some symptoms indicate HIV - and how often to look. PLEASE check that forum out - as the answer to your question may already be there since so so many people share similar concerns...

OK?
