After that they have prescribed me b12 vitamins and all but no much improvement.

Again one month back i have done ELISA test in a small hospital they told non reactive (.214)
Why i am suffering like this ..i am in tense kindly guide me sir
You are free from HIV and all the symptoms are due to some other infection.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had sexual intercourse 8 years back just for one to two minutes and the result of CMIA HIV 1/2 is non-reactive before 2 months and ELISA is non-reactive before one month then you are definitely free from HIV so don't worry about that because the risk is negligible in your case.
As far as all your symptoms are concerned they might be due some other viral or fungal infection or may be due to anxiety or stress or tension what you are taking. You can consult chest physician for chronic cough and go ahead as per the advice. The pricking and cold sensations in feet is mostly due to low level of vitamin B12 so continue taking vitamin B12. Be patience and relaxed, avoid the disturbing thoughts and move ahead in life happily.
Thank You

Thanks for yours reply .
Actually where i have done CMIA that is good & Big laboratory/Hospital but where i have done ELISA test that labs i do not think had much facilities.But they told non reactive with value .214
As i have read from internet that anus itching and recurrence of some lips and mouth sore and persistent cough with green color cough are the symptoms of HIV.
Presently i have cough from more than two months but now no cough are producing but i have done chest x-ray last week and they told the problems related to acute bronchitis. I am taking Ayurveda medicine .
My main question is that from past 8 months i am having the same level of cold sensations and pricking in both my legs & palms despite of that i am eating good meals & fruits ..Why? First time in life time i am facing this...I am working in AC room always.
My lips ulcer not much paining but reoccurring but getting heal quickly .But i never had it before but now its happening from past 3 months.
Now please tell according to you what could be symptoms of HIV ?
Please guide sir
Thanks
The cold sensations and pricking in both legs and palms due to B12 deficit.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
The persistent cold sensations and pricking in both legs and palms are mostly due to vitamin B12 deficiency for which you are already taking treatment so continue the same and don't think much about these symptoms.
The persistent and recurrent mouth sores or ulcers, the persistent cough for more than one month, persistent fever for more than one month, unexplained weight loss and many more are the symptoms of HIV infection.
Your CMIA and ELISA test results after 8 years of possible exposure are negative so no need to worry at all as you are absolutely free from HIV. Avoid taking too much of stress or tension and go for some other investigations as per the advice of your physician to isolate the cause for your symptoms.
Thank You

No need to take tension or stress as you are free from HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
The persistent mouth ulcers and chronic cough are the symptoms of HIV infection but in your case they might be due to some other infection, it could be viral or fungal or it may also result from excess stress or tension but not related to HIV because the report of CMIA test is negative after 8 years.
For persistent mouth ulcers you can take tab folic acid and multivitamins. Continue vitamin B12 for cold and pricking sensations. All your blood report other than HIV are also normal so avoid taking so much of unnecessary tension. Be relaxed and keep in touch with your physician for these symptoms.
Thank You
