Hiv pcr false negative and seroconversion
      #253849 - 01/10/11 05:26 AM

I need some help. I am in Seoul and have had PCR and Antigen test at 7 weeks - both negative. However, my skin is changing rapidly - brown marks and cauliflower patterns - red dry knuckles and a rash on my face and test. I am eating a high amount of calories daily and losing weight. My face is caving in as well (sunken checks) - People are asking me what is wrong? I asked my doc to do another test and she she protocol is 12 weeks. I am going out of my mind with stress. Even though I am eating a lot, I have very small bowel movements. I am getting so I don't want to see people and I am a teacher and just don't know what to do. Could this be something other than HIV? Someone please respond. I am so scared.

You answered this yourself..YOU ARE STRESSING YOURSELF OUT!! One can't experience rapid progression with 2 neg results. Here's what I suggest go ahead and assure yourself of the FACT and schedule a test for the 12 wk mark. Its right around the corner so no biggie..but, UNTIL THEN google "stress" and learn all you can about that too. It will keep your mind off doubting numerous tests all with the same result.

I would suggest you direct your attention to the second poster's comments instead of to the original poster's.
