Question: I would like to know does HIV window period get extended to 10 years?



I had sex in April 2009. In May 2009 I had some infection on my penis. I went to a doctor(urologist). He gave me some medicines and the infection subsided and never again appeared till date.



In Aug-2009 I had Elisa test for HIV which came out negative. In August 2009 itself I had PCR test which came out positive. Later doctor suggested me to have test done at 6 months from the date of possible exposure> I had Elisa test in October 2009 which was negative again in November 2009 I had Western Blot test and the result was Negative in all parameters.



In December 2009 and January 2010 again I had tests(Elisa) which were negative. Again in August 2010 I had ELISA test and it was Negative.



In July 2012 again had ELISA test which came out negative.



Now on January 30 2013 I had HIV 1 & 2(ECLIA)Method: Electrochemicaluminescence Test and the Result came to out negative(0.438 S/Co).



On February 16. I met a doctor.



He said I am absolutely fine and I don't have HIV.



But to my anxiety he prescribed me VDRL test and HSV-I & HSV-II tests.



My VDRL came out NON-REACTIVE.



My HSV-I & II test results are as follows:



HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 IgG : 2.19 Ratio



HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 IgM : 0.31 Ratio



HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 IgG : 0.02 Ratio



HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 IgM : 0.15 Ratio



Now I am worried.. my HSV-I IgG came out Positive. So I am really worried..



Doctor says, nothing to worry about HSV-I Results.



He syas if VDRL was +ve then it wud have been a matter to think about.



But HSV-I is nothing to worry about.



Is this HSV-I +ve the reason for my PCR test coming +ve?



I am really tensed. I am feeling Suidical..





In the span from April-2009 to till date I never had sex


Of Course I masturbate.

So want to know whethere I am 100% HIV negative.

Hi Doctor,

My worry is the increase in Cholesterol and Tryglycerides.. when I serached in internet I saw that HIV increases cholesterol and tryglycerides.

I am leading a very stressful life thinking about above things.. and unable to concentrate properly and unable to decide about marriage..

sorry if I am being too specific.. Kindly clear my worry..

Thanks in Advance..
