Could the body immune system eradicate hiv virus


Question Posted Thursday April 19 2012, 10:53 am

I only tested after 11 months of possible exposure where my results came back as negative. However i have been experiencing these symptoms including headaches, skin rashes, night sweets and swollen umpits. Is it possible i tested negative because my body had neutralised the virus at the time of the test as i am a sports person leaving a healthy and clean life. This is my 12th month and i am experincing a burning sensation in my male part which i suspect to be herpes. I will be going for an hiv test this Saturday, so could i be positive.

At the present time all the science say what your asking is not possible. What is more possible is the symptoms you are experiencing is more mind over matter.

The mind is a very powerful organ. While you may not have the actual disease to go with the symptoms you could actually will the symptoms on yourself. The best thing though is to have the symptoms checked out by a doctor.

You have had negative tests in the past and most likely this test will be negative as well. The chances that you contracted HIV get smaller with each negative test. Be diligent in choosing your sex partners and do not have unprotected sex of any type to avoid this type of worry in the future.

Be truthful with your doctor as to the types sex you engage in and your over all sex life. Your doctor will then be able to better tell you how often in the future you need to be tested. Remember everything you tell your doctor is confidential and remains with your doctor unless you give your written permission to release any information. You have had this protection since you obtained the age of 14.


Please remember none of us are doctors. The advice we give is that of a layperson. For the best and most trusted advice will always come from a medical professional.

You've asked this question a few times now, but the answer remains the same.

Your test at 11 months should have been accurate. False negatives are almost unheard off any later than six months after exposure.

Your health is irrelevant. If HIV is contracted, it cannot be neutralized by the immune system and it doesn't go away.

It sounds like you didn't get it. It's almost absurdly unlikely that you'll get a positive on this next test.

You should talk to doctor about your symptoms to get some help with them and an actual diagnosis.

Hello again,

There is something called psyhosomatic symptoms where you could be having some symptoms of various things but unrelated to what you are thinking about. For instance you could have a rash but you could be thinking of hiv well its just a bad reaction or stress. Since you are goin for a test but i think its hihly unlikely to be positive but still you would need proof since nothin is 100%. No need to worry you are oin to get screened again for hiv and you could also have an general health check to make sure you are all in the clear.
