Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
That girl might be a promiscuous girl or even she could be a HIV positive woman. There are 30-40% of spouses of HIV positive individuals remaining HIV negative in spite of their unprotected regular sex with their HIV positive partner for years together at the point of their identification as HIV positive. They are called as Sero-discordant couple.
Whatever it may be, your HIV test reports especially done 12 weeks after the exposure clearly indicate that you are free fro HIV 1 and 2 infection. CMIA tests are highly reliable. Two consequtive nonreactive tests after 12 weeks assure that you are free from HIV up to 100% beyond any doubt.
All your symptoms are not specific to HIV alone. Anybody can get fever, stuffy nose,malaise,lymph node enlargement and stiff neck at any point of time as well the girl you had encountered. All White line over the cheek and tongue are not necessarily be the signs of HIV. Your physician only can able to tell the same.
So keep all your doubts aside, consult a good physician, get treated and get well soon.

Hi,
Welcome back to HCM.
icma Test is not commonly used to detect HIV in this part of the world.
All the HIV tests available in the market are highly reliable up to the extent of 97-98%. No test is 100% foolproof. As you had a series of nonreactive results, it made the reliability up to 100%. So you need not have any doubt about HIV with you.
About urobilinogen in urine and other symptoms are not due to HIV or the sexual encounter. That is all we can tell from these results. Possibly a coincidence. Liver function tests were normal. Your treatng physician will investigate further and cure you completely.
Best wishes.
