Driving my self crazy

2018-03-02 23:57:34
Im wondering if the 60 second HIV finger prick test is accurate at 8 weeks. Uraised red blochy skin on arms and slightly on legs. Before that my throat felt like it was closing. My test was negative at 8 weeks. Do you think its HIV?

Hi If there is a risk of exposure, you need to get another test done. Having said that, the symptoms you have described sound more like an allergic reaction rather than HIV! You need not worry at the moment but get a test done for your peace of mind.
