I had read articiles for seronegative hiv2 carriers in XXXXXXX in 2000 .
My serological are negative including the westorn blot 1/2 all band negative

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
It is very good that you are aware of HIV, its risk and consequences.
Internet has really made the life miserable in some regards as people read many articles and since a non-medical person can not really fully understand the in-depth knowledge he can be trapped into a vicious cycle of encounter- a small mistake - caution - over-caution - guilt and an anxiety related to the guilt and so-called wrong-doing.
I hope, you are getting my point.
Few more thing for you understand :
You had interaction more than 9 years ago- do you really think from the bottom of your heart that you can have HIV or AIDS after such a long gap?
All the tests including CD counts are normal- Do you really want to find out anyway that you are suffering from something?
What are the other symptoms you had / have other than Lymph nodes ?
And What are the tests that are positive to tell you that the lymph nodes are due to Tuberculosis? Have you got your FNAC or Biopsy of the lymph node/s ?
I think now you want to get married and that is why the so much worry about ...
Please give feedback-
Feel free to express more.


Now i have one question i have always had these symptoms from these many years ,
I was on that time too , but thank to god my serological and dna rna all are negative ,
2 months i had cd4/cd8 test
But this dr did viral load test for hiv1 plus another test name cd45/cd3/cd4/cd8
I am having dry mouth mostly
For this iam worried for any unusual kind of hiv2 i had very short exposure it was vaginal hetrosexual after 6 months of that i dvlop these symptoms , lympnodes were extremly painfull but still not over 1 cms
I had girl freinds in past after that exposure we also tested them in recent they 3 were all negative ,
But after i had meet this dr PROF XXXXXXX
HE SAID U HAVE SOME HIV , he ran those viral load test last cd45-cd8 counts which are changes from the one i had my self some 2 months ago
But that dat dr had ask me u cannot transmit the virus but i belive u need to test hiv2 too , iam asking di i need to run and go for that test too
Take a second opinion at NACO
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
CD 4 / CD 8 ratio is normal, almost all the reports are normal except the CD 8 + T suppressor percentage of CD 3 which is just above the normal range not below.
Is the Doctor you met a self declared HIV Specialist? What are his Degrees?
You can always take a second opinion of a Doctor at the Govt AIDS center / NACO . Counselling with the Counsellor or Doctor In-charge at such places are more reliable, they will not confuse you and in fact help you make the things more clearer.
There is nothing like 'some' HIV- it is there or not there.
I would request you to take a second opinion for the sake of face-to-face interaction.
Get any of the most prominent lymph node tests by FNAC or Biopsy to confirm what it is to go for further treatment if required. You have to get a definitive diagnosis.
I was just wondering why would you be so much bothered about if all your tests are normal.
All such counts are done in people who are HIV Positive. Well go ahead till you are satisfied. Get a second opinion.


Why are you so much worried about ?
Detailed Answer:
I mean to say - as per the reports you are unnecessarily bothered about something which is not positive- It is already more than 9 years and by this time all reports are negative.
I was just asking about the specialty of the Doctor who says to be AIDS specialist.
I hope you are physically fit for your age. Get excision biopsy of any of the lymph nodes, if not positive for any specific disease, you too be positive ( by thought) and enjoy life. Get married if you are unmarried yet.
There are better ideas / situations and events in life to bother about.
