HIV test negative, but I still have many symptoms of HIV?
I have just received my hiv results after 16 months ago since i exposed my self to be in this situation has been a nightmare, this is my tenth test on august 19th got the negative result, but why am i having tongue ulcers, gastro problems, lyph nodes on neck hurt , white spots back of throat and on tongue, rash on neck not lost any weight apart from s couple of pounds. My last exposureveas 27th april 2012 , my last trst negative 19 august 2013 approx 16 months ago and i have not had any kind of sex since, so why do i still think ive got latency hiv with my symptons. Im meeting An HIV Clinician - councellor which my doctor referred me to, hopefully he can help.

Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
I don't know. We aren't doctors. Perhaps you should go and see another doctor, as well as the HIV Clinician, because you almost certainly don't have HIV.
The odds of even one test providing a false negative is extremely rare. (In 2005 the CDC put the number of false-negative HIV results in the States at 0.03%). After 10 negtative tests, you've got a much better chance of being killed by falling space junk than being HIV positive.
Please, Please, PLEASE stop coming to the internet for advice. We can't help you. See doctors. Get different expert opinions. Clearly something is wrong, but your irrational focus on HIV is NOT helpful to you at this point. You are compromising your mental health by focusing on a virus that has been very effectively ruled out.
After a year and six tests - all coming back negative - you need to accept that as conclusive proof that you are HIV negative.
Please, see a different doctor than the one who has ordered 10 HIV tests and sent you to an HIV specialist. That sounds like a doctor who is all out of ideas and can't help you further. You need someone who can take a fresh look at your symptoms and think outside of this HIV box.
