Hello doctor please give genuine answer actually practically answer ---- on 25 jan 2025 I visited dentist clinic he is BDS MIDA AND INTEREN OF MOLANA AZAD DENTAL DELHI BUT DONT KNOW HE USE INSTRUMENTS ARE STEELISED OR NOT ... I visited for scaling and blood come from my gum after that on 27 January I had started stomach pain and loose motion on 31 jan I had done usg abdominal and in report show few sub centimetre mesentric lymph node seen I took antibiotic but after 37 days I did not get relax in loose motion not feel urgency but stool was soft not thick than I tested for HIV DUO CLIA ANTIGEN AND ANTIBODIES FROM 17 days ,25 days 30 days and 38 days today all come negative is it okay or done something other
Your HIV Duo CLIA (Antigen & Antibodies) tests at 17, 25, 30, and 38 days all came negative, which is a very reassuring sign. The HIV Duo test is highly accurate after 28 days and almost conclusive after 6 weeks (42 days). To be 100% conclusive, some guidelines recommend testing again at 6 weeks or 3 months (90 days), but your repeated negative results strongly indicate that you are not infected.
Possible Reasons for Loose Stools & Stomach Pain
1. Post-Antibiotic Gut Imbalance – Antibiotics can disturb gut flora, leading to prolonged loose stools. Consider probiotics, a BRAT diet (banana, rice, applesauce, toast), and fiber-rich foods.
2. Gastrointestinal Infection or IBS – Some infections or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can trigger persistent soft stools. A stool test may help identify any lingering infections.
3. Stress & Anxiety – Fear of infection and overthinking can impact digestion. Try relaxation techniques, meditation, or therapy to reduce anxiety.
What to Do Next?
Wait till 6 weeks (42 days) and repeat the HIV Duo test if you need complete peace of mind.
Consult a gastroenterologist if your stomach issues persist—tests like stool culture or colonoscopy may be required.
Take probiotics & maintain hydration to restore gut health.
There is no strong evidence that your symptoms are related to HIV, especially with multiple negative tests. It’s likely a gut infection or stress-related issue. If anxiety is overwhelming you, I can help you with therapy. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
