Negative thoughts
I have tested HIV 4th generation CMIA antigen and antibody test which is non reactive. I have no symptoms. I have tested it after 6years of last exposure just out of curiosity. I read in the Internet that using steroids can cause false negative as it causes immunosuppression and reduce the antibodies.While I did the test i was using duonase nasal spray to treat allergic rhinitis. Many doctors assured me that this nasal spray dontal affect hiv testing. I have stopped the spray and tested it after 1 month. Again it came negative. But still i get negative thoughts like what will happen if these reports are negative because of the nasal sprays?what will happen if i am positive? These negative thoughts keep on coming. I cannot concentrate on any other thing.what can i do to come out of this situation?
