Would you please keep us updated on your condition? I have the exact same symptoms as you and still test neg. My ears have been popping since last June, would you register so we know who you are? It's not just the ears it's everything you have and more.

From what I have read, it sounds that your exposure was greater than 13 weeks ago. An HIV test at this time would be considered conclusive. Since your exposure was also postive for HCV, I would also consider getting a test for that. Both HCV and HIV share the three month window period, however sometimes it takes longer for HCV to be detected.
If you have had a negative HIV test post 13 weeks, then your symptoms are not related to HIV infection, regardless of what's happening to your body, you need to work with you doctor to determine the cause.

Hi. If you don't mind my asking what type of blood exposure in cut did you have? I had a similar experience but I touched blood on a door surface and I don't know if it was anyone's that was hiv pos or not, I don't even know if it was if the virus would still have been infectous at that point. Anyway , if you tested after 3 months I'm sure you are in the clear. Good luck!
