Brief Answer:
The symptoms are not at all related to HIV

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM once again and I remember you very well also.

Your test result for HIV 1 & 2 after 6 months was negative then there is absolutely no possibility of having HIV at all and no chance of becoming positive right now so don't get feared or worried about it.

The symptoms of inflammation in upper thigh and groin along with tightness in the throat may be due to seasonal change or other common viral illness. You need not to get bothered too much, just consult your local physician or ENT specialist to isolate the cause and follow the treatment regime as per advice.

Don't remember about the past exposure as it is all over and the symptoms are not related to HIV in any way so be relaxed and live your life normally. As such no test is required because there is no other exposure but for your satisfaction you can go for 4th generation HIV Duos test to clear all your doubts.

Hope this info will help you to relieve your anxiety or stress. If still any doubt is left in your mind then fell free to ask me and I am always available here to help you any time. Wishing you a very happy and healthy life.

Thank You.

Thank u sir I am very thankful that you remember me.I trust you a lot so again disturbed you.I was perfectly well from last 3 months .but this feelings comes from last 8/9 days after six month neg test I was full confidence about my negative status.but the pain in hip groin and neck made me very stressed again. Other wise no other symptoms at all.no fever headeach till last four months. No other infections. I know It is very rare to seroconversion at 7 months.but it is not impossible. Thankful for your valuable assurances that it is not related. I visited a skin and vd specialist he said it was problems of muscle and prescribed Carni Q tab.but I am in fear of hiv and hesitate to go for testing now because of the pains is there any possibility sir.does the montelucast treatment somehow responsible. Please clean my dought. I will go for the dua test again tomorrow and contact you again with results May God bless me

Brief Answer:
Go for the test without any fear in mind.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

You need not to hesitate to go for testing because it is just for your satisfaction to clear your doubt otherwise it is not recommended as such and it is impossible to get seroconverted after 6 months negative result without any other exposure. Don't get stressed about hip and groin pain, you will be fine soon.

Treatment with montelucast has nothing to do with test result and it is not at all responsible for HIV any how. Continue the medicine suggested by the doctor and go for testing without any fear in mind. God will surely bless you and the result will definitely come in your favor so be relaxed and get back to me with result.

Thank You

Brief Answer:
No need to test again as you are safe.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

HIV Duos and antibody both tests are negative at 204 days then you are absolutely free from HIV so no need to test again because you are totally safe.

For HIV Duos test any value below 1 is considered as negative so don't worry about the reading as it has not of much significance in interpretation.

Now you need not to think any thing about HIV so just forget about the past and move ahead in life. Always stay happy and healthy.

Thank You
