Does anyone know if having thrush would delay window period and if so how many months.Im starting to think my immunne system must be to low to make antibodies,within the window period.

I don't think so. According to what I've read on this site, once you are HIV antibody positive, you stay that way. If you are in fact infected, there is little to no chance that your immune system will be damaged badly enough to stop producing antibodies within the window period. If you've been tested and the result was negative, believe it. If you can't, get tested again in a couple of months for reassurance.

...just don't allow yourself to become someone that tests repeatedly and doesn't believe their negative results.
If you have already tested negative 3 or more months after and you don't believe your negative result, then you need to look at why you don't believe, instead of grasping at reasons why your test could be wrong. It isn't.

I was tested at 8 weeks and 16 weeks.But ive had nausia,swollen belly,diarreaha ,sebborriea dermatitis on forhead,that won't go away i treat it then it returns,toe nail fungus,thrush and swollen nodes in groin and under jaw.All this since my risky encounter.Hard to believe my tests with these symptoms.Never had any of this before.Just worried maybe it has hurt my immune system or maybe i had a weak imunne system to begin with and its taking me longer to seroconvert.

You already have all the proof you should need that you don't have HIV. A negative conclusive test outside the window period.
It's time to look for other causes. Don't let yourself head down the road you are currently traveling.
The only thing that seems to happen is eventually people do believe their test results, but not until after months of putting themselves through a lot of stress and anxiety. Sometimes alienating their friends and family. So stressed out that they have problems at work and their health. Spending money they don't have on tests that tell them the same thing over and over...they aren't infected. All of it needless, because in the end, the result is always the same. Negative.

Demanding your tests are wrong and not looking into other things that could possibly be causing your problems could be hurting you more in the long run. Do not get in to the cycle of thinking it only has to be one thing and insisting on that. Go see your doctor with your symptoms, tell your doctor that you thought it could have been HIV and your testing track, and then let him diagnose you. Self diagnosis is very bad because you could be hurting yourself more in the long run. Your symptoms can be attributed to many other things than HIV. So go see your doctor and quit trying to play one on yourself.

Yes, that was me...Alienating myself, not believing results...I pretty much lost about 3-4 months of my life AFTER testing negative past the window to stress and anxiety from testing. Don't go there, its not fun, believe me. I can honestly say I know exactly what you are feeling.

Are you absolutely sure it was thrush? Alot of people (including myself) have confused that with tongue coating. What you have probably isn't thrush unless you have been on very strong antibiotics, or a DR has diagnosed you.
Also, if your so called incident was recent, unlikely al these illnesses would set in so fast if they were aids related. Its probably just a coincidence. I would trust both your negative test results.
