Hi.
Ive also had neurological symptoms and tested neg at 6 mos
My symptoms are numbness and tingling of the hands mostly my pinky finger and the one next to it. Seems to be worse at night. What are you experiencing with neuropathy and what are your other symptoms. Jackie made a post the other day that all the worried wells are manifesting this neuropathy because we read about it and then we get it. Well I got mine long before I read about it
Funny thing though I didn'yt get the neurolicical problems till 5 mosa after possible exposure.
Whats your time line
concearned friend in the same boat

I thought PN, (with respect to HIV), was associated with AIDS, not recent infection? Oh and doesn;t it usually start in the feet, not the hands?

I also developed peripheral neuropathy about 7 months afterwards. Tingling numbess in toes and soles of feet as well as burning. I dont seem to have this anymore but i recently developed burning sensations in legs and hands. im begining to think that people can have PN(not severe though) for no reason. hopefully mie is not from HIV.

I thought Peripheral Neuropathy was typically a result of AIDS medications. Perhaps you want to research that?
