Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

It has been five years since I had sexual exposure with a female sex worker. So, two months ago, I tested myself with a third-generation antibody rapid test kit at home, and it came negative. After that, I ordered ten test kit boxes of the fourth generation rapid test kit and tested with all of them, and they also came negative. So now, twelve times I had tested with quick tests and all results were negative, but now I have symptoms like burning sensation in my feet and tingling in my hands, prolonged pain in my legs for six months. I am feeling weakness in my legs. If my test result came negative so, why do I have these symptoms? I request you to please see the test slide.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As the tests are negative, you do not have any human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Symptoms may be due to some deficiency of vitamins and minerals, lack of exercise, improper sleep due to anxiety, or fear. Do meditation regularly before sleep. Avoid having negative thoughts. I suggest taking a Calcirol (Cholecalciferol) sachet, one sachet per week for six weeks, and a tablet of Trinerve (Methylcobalamin) one per day for three weeks.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them and take the medicines with their consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
