Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
As earlier explained by me and other colleagues you are negative for HIV.Allay all fears.
You are getting stressed, tensed and worried unnecessarily.
Please consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible for counselling and to come out of this stressful situations.
The drugs mentioned do not affect the HIV test results .Also repeatedly different type of tests cannot come negative.All symptoms can be due to anxiety and self created stress.
So you forget the episode, have protein rich balanced diet. Consult psychiatrist.
You can get back for any clarification.
