Painful Feet, Positive ANA, Caked Sores. Possible To Have HIV Symptoms And Not Be Detected In The Test?

I have gone through your query.Thanks for detailed description.
After all the health problems you are facing are not related to HIV illness.
HIV seroconversion starts with fever, lymphadenopathy ,infectious mononucleosis like rash. Total counts are low.
HIV becomes symptomatic years after the infection and starts with prolonged fever, diarrhea , weight loss , cough.
Approximately within 30 days the ELISA for HIV becomes positive.
As you have undergone PCR for HIV which has came negative you dont have HIV.PCR test is highly reliable.
Your Intestinal problems and low platelet count are not related to HIV.
Their cause must be investigated and follow up should be kept.
In nutshell I would like to reassure you that you dont have HIV and should not be worried for it.
Hope this helps.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask them.
