Question: Hi,

I have had multiple risky sexual exposures which may have put my self at risk of STDs. My last risky exposure was at 20 month ago. Prior to 20 months, I definitely had put my self at risk of STDs and I don't want to discuss scenarios, etc...I'm very well aware of probability of acquiring hid/std, window period, conclusiveness etc. For that reason, I had done CD4 along with HIV DUO and RNA testing.

CD4 absolute count was 1600 @ 2 month,800 @ 4 months,1000 @ 6 month,1200 @ 10 month,1400 @ 14 month.. CD4% and cd4/cd8 ratio was above 1.

Based on the recent tests(hiv DUO,hiv NAAT,HEP ABC,syphillis,std panel) , I was given clear from Dr. My ARS symptoms were TEXTBOOK symptoms and I really felt those symptoms.

My real issue is that, I have many symptoms that comes up and goes and I'm nowhere close to my health that was 20 month ago.

I have :
tinnitus (24/7)
Ongoing fatigue and weakness, with mental and physical fatigue after exertion
Poor unrefreshing sleep
Skin becomes stiff and loses its elasticity
Subcutaneous nodules.
Reduction of the lunula at the base of fingernails
tonail fungus (2 nails turned totally disjointed from base)
Shortness of breath
Pins and needles
Constantly twitching muscles
tinnitus, vertigo
Depression
Poor memory, confusion and cognitive dysfunction

I understand that based on HIV testing results it seems it's all clear. What else is this then ?

Hi. i completed 1 month course of 10 mg. then there was no change so dr. proscribed me 50 mg. i completed 1 month course of it.

no. thats very important thing. i was hoping that if its related to anxiety and depression it should improve as well....

now tinnitus, short of breathness , muscle spasms and fatigue (during day), are worst.

hi. i have followed up with pcp, gastrointestinal dr. and had colonoscopy, my tsh and ana reports are normal as well...

my cd4 count wsas 1600 and went down to 800 in mere 1 month (DURING ARS) ..and took so many months to cone back upto 1200 mark.

that along with exposures, ars seems to be hiv related...

Hi,

exposure, ars symptoms, cd4 history does mot let me look anywhere else.

1600 cd4 , 1.53 ratio @ 8 weeks
851 cd4 , 1.36 ratio @ 18 weeks
1056 cd4 , 1.45 ratio @ 24 weeks
1446 cd4 , 1.4 ratio @ 42 weeks
1398 cd4 , 1.5 ratio @ 63 weeks
1241 cd4 , 1.16 ratio @ 88 weeks

if you look at it cd4 drop @ 18 week and if you look at current ratio of 1.16....you can tell what I'm talking about.

and still antobody tests are negative.

thanks for your answer. at this point I'm not sure which dr. to go to. I'm having so mucg pain in groin area when moving...in additiin to other symptoms.
