So is my hiv test conclusive? How reliable is rapid hiv test? (I used XXXXXXX biotech Uni-Gold Recombigen HIV).
Can anxiety and improper diet cause some sensation in head?
Can anxiety and improper diet cause some sensation in head?
Brief Answer:
Anxiety is best erased by moving on; PCR test best
Detailed Answer:
Hi there XXXXXXX
I read your queries & understand your anxiety.
Yes, anxiety more than improper diet can cause these sensations you allude to.
Yes your HIV test is conclusive. The rapid test is not as reliable as some of the others but is a good test for screening. I suggest you do a PCR test for mRNA for best results & for more than anything to get your anxiety cleared.
Trust I have given you a prompt answer & have been as honest as possible & given you a sense of direction.
It is best to put the past behind us & to move on & not 'dwell' on it. Take care & Godspeed!
