Brief Answer:
There are 5th generation tests available for HIV!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
5th generation tests exist and are very reliable. The simple fact that you had two tests which all showed that you are HIV negative virtually roles out any lingering doubts about the reliability of this test result. When antigen(p24) and antibody tests are both negative, there is nothing better we to show that you are for real HIV free at this time. This calls for you to continue and maintain high preventive measures against HIV so that you stay free from this.

Brief Answer:
You are afraid of being HIV positive.......Relax!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand how much stress you are going through. The greatest fear is for sure that you may be HIV positive. I have reviewed the various tests you have done and there is no reason to continue nursing this fear. You are HIV negative and there is no way this test would refer to HIV+ 6months after exposure.
When you would be able to come to terms with the fact that you are HIV negative, then you would get a relaxed mind state and healing would begin. Being stressed is a reason to have a weakened immune system and develop several infections that might raise the possibility of having HIV.
In all, relax and all would be okay. I wish you well and take my word: You are HIV negative.
