Do my symptoms indicate a neurological condition or HIV?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have conducted HIV rapid tests using five different manufacturers' kits at home, employing finger-pricked blood samples. These tests were performed after engaging in potentially protected sexual encounters with a female sex worker before 9 years. I have repeated the tests over 60 times between last year and this year, and all results have consistently shown negative outcomes.

I am seeking clarification on the conclusiveness, accuracy, and reliability of these tests. Is it safe to conclude that I am 100% negative for HIV, or do further tests remain necessary? Also, I am experiencing persistent symptoms such as body pain, weakness, palpitations, and a recurring burning sensation in various body parts that shift from one location to another. Despite checking vitamin B12 and D3 levels (which are normal) and having no diabetes, I am perplexed by these neuropathy-like symptoms. Could you please shed light on the possible reasons behind these symptoms?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Hello doctor,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concerns about your health, and I am here to support you.

Regarding your HIV testing, it is reassuring that all results have consistently shown negative outcomes, indicating no HIV infection.

For your other symptoms, I suggest you take the following medications:

Tab Diclofenac 100 mg: Take orally twice daily.
Tab Metronidazole 400 mg: Take orally three times daily.
Cap Co-Amoxiclav 625 mg (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid): Take orally twice daily.
Tab Ketoconazole 200 mg: Take orally once daily.
Tab Acyclovir 800 mg: Take orally once daily.

Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications as per their advice. If your symptoms persist, I advise scheduling another appointment for a follow-up consultation via chat, phone, or video.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
