Question: Hi. I would like does HIV window period get extended to 10 years? I had sex in April 2009. In May 2009 I had some infection on my penis. I went to a doctor(urologist). He gave me some medicines and the infection subsided and never again appeared till date. In Aug-2009 I had Elisa test for HIV which came out negative. In August 2009 itself I had PCR test which came out positive. Later doctor suggested me to have test done at 6 months from the date of possible exposure> I had Elisa test in October 2009 which was negative again in November 2009 I had Western Blot test and the result was Negative in all parameters. In December 2009 and January 2010 again I had tests(Elisa) which were negative. Again in August 2010 I had ELISA test and it was Negative. In July 2012 again had ELISA test which came out negative. Now on January 30 2013 I had HIV 1 & 2(ECLIA)Method: Electrochemicaluminescence Test and the Result came to out negative(0.438 S/Co). On February 16. I met a doctor. He said I am absolutely fine and I don't have HIV. But to my anxiety he prescribed me VDRL test and HSV-I & HSV-II tests. My VDRL came out NON-REACTIVE. My HSV-I & II test results are as follows: HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 IgG : 2.19 Ratio HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 IgM : 0.31 Ratio HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 IgG : 0.02 Ratio HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 IgM : 0.15 Ratio Now I am worried.. my HSV-I IgG came out Positive. So I am really worried.. Doctor says, nothing to worry about HSV-I Results. He syas if VDRL was +ve then it wud have been a matter to think about. But HSV-I is nothing to worry about. Is this HSV-I +ve the reason for my PCR test coming +ve? I am really tensed. I am feeling Suidical.. In the span from April-2009 to till date i.e., 19th February 2013 I never had sex. Of Course I masturbate I just want to know am I 100% HIV Negative. I am very anxious. I am looking to get married. Please clear my doubt. I'll be really thankful to u. If anything is wrong please say me. It's better to die alone without troubling any1 else. Thanks.

Hi, Thank u very much for ur reply.. The major concern is I keep getting these pimples on my face.. I keep getting these pimples near throat and under chin and on nose.. One more thing is in October I had complete body check up and my cholesterol levels were high.. My Triglycerides were 403.. I would like you to know that I was drinking a lot(Daily 1/2 bottle of wine and later having lot of chicken) since last 1 1/3 years.. and I was having lot of junk food cheese butter chicken.. and absolutely no physical exercise.. I met a doctor and she suggested me some strict diet.. Since then I stopped drinking completely and my Triglycerides came back to 270.. and other parameters are also came down.. I informed doctor and she said there's nothing to do with HIV and all these stuff.. She too is saying I can be assured That I am 150% HIV free.. Now I am completely not drinking alcohol or having any fatty food.. I am feeling quite stressed out coz of constantly thinking about HIV.. I keep reading about HIV and try to correlate every small issue in my body with HIV.. I keep getting these pimples on my face... are these due to stress... I am looking forward to get married.. Can I proceed? I am really sorry if I am being too much suspicious.. But I can't help it.. Kindly suggest.. Can I go ahead with marriage plans... Thanks in Advance..
