    Scared of HIV
    Hi, 2.5 years ago a prostitute scratched me on my hand and I started bleeding,
    After some months ago suddenly I had fever which was 100 degree, after that after some months I had joint pain in left had. And now my testosterone levels are also low. I got tested foe HIV three times/ four times. And one was recently 25 days back and all the results came out to be non reactive.
    Is there any test gives 100% surety to check HIV, do I need to keep testing for HIV for my whole life.
    After that incident I got married. There were lot of pimples on my wife's both arms, she had severe sore throat, vomiting like feeling and severe headaches, and sometimes taking deep breathing frequently.
    I too feel very energetic. Please suggest me something.
    Is there cure for HIV.

    Sounds like you don't have it. Tested 4 times and all are negative.

    Unless she had a open sore, merely scratching you will not give you HIV, she would have had to be bleeding also and have a transfer of blood.

    Ask your doctor about the test but a test after 2 years, no you don't have it.

    People have various illness you are putting several unrelated events into a mass illness

    Thank for your answer brother, but some where I read we need to keep on testing. And this thing is not even going out of my mind.

    Was there an exchange of blood between you both?

    I know this isn't relevant to your post, but I am curious to know why a prostitute scratched your hand in the first place?

    Unless her blood went into your blood, via the scratch, it's unlikely that you contracted HIV from her.

    It's been 2.5 years, and numerous tests. Yes, you should continue testing, but all the illnesses you describe, don't indicate HIV. The flu, yes. The common cold, yes. Other illnesses. Yes.

    You don't have to have HIV in order to get a fever.
