Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.
I can make out your anxiety.

The symptoms are non specific and not related to HIV. These can be simple respiratory infection like flu due to respiratory contact with any person.

The HIV antibodies test are conclusive after 12 weeks .Usually antibodies are formed by 12 weeks.So the test done at 85 days post exposure is conclusive.
The tests done earlier also were negative but could not be considered conclusive.
The weight loss can be due to stress or anxiety .
The test at 85 days is conclusive.
You are free from HIV.
You can allay fears of HIV.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thank you for follow up query.

Internet is a source of information and a source for confusion too.
12 weeks is nothing but 3 months.Antibodies are formed, if infected with HIV by 2- 6 weeks maximum by 12 weeks.
In very rare situations like patients with immune disorders, or on anticancer drugs or immunosuppressive therapy, the antibodies may take 6 months to be formed.

You can allay fears of HIV as such diseases/condition are unlikely .
Forget the episode. Get involved in activities you like.Do yoga,meditation ,exercises.

You can get back for any clarification.
