Floaters are extremely common and can occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with HIV. People have dealt with them longer than HIV has been around.

Matter of fact, floaters are never directly related to HIV infection. Some HIV+ people that have a CD4 count under 100 may experience floaters due to the opportunistic infection CMV Retinitis. However the floaters are a symptom of CMV, not HIV.

Once again, low grade fevers and body aches are not indicitive of HIV infection. They are very common symptoms for any number of illnesses and conditions.

I'm sure your test results will confirm what your already conclusive results showed. You are negative.
