Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You have been tested 3 times in 18 months and all came back negative, so nothing to worry because you are absolutely safe as the window period for HIV also varies from 15 days to 3 months.
Flu like illness and muscle ache might be the result of some other viral infection. Cough with sputum on and off can be due to climate change or some sort of allergy. Consult your physician for further management. Calm down and move ahead in life.
The HIV test result after 18 months is considered highly reliable and conclusive so don't get feared or tensed. For any further clarification get back to me any time and I will answer you straight away.
Thank You
