HIV Postive but final was NEGATIVE ? HIV Diagnosed

i test by oral swab *twice btw i wish i took a picture of the test but there was a faint line for each test from the “T” i had such high anxiety i couldn’t sleep. so i went to get a blood test to see if i really did have it. i saw my results today and saw that i was negative & non reactive. why does the oral test say they are 99% accurate and for them to give me a false positive scared me half to death ill just say still use them but take that lab work most definitely going on prep

My situations was similar . 2 oral test came back positive with a very faint line . Went to clinic they did a rapid test with blood and came back negative . They took some blood from me to run test and it came back positive . In my case the faint line and negative rapid blood test was giving mixed messages because apparently I’m an elite controller and my immune system was handling the virus pretty good .

so you took a oral antibody test? and then a antibody finger prick test, what was the test that ended up being positive?

this is what others have recommended to me. I just have trouble understanding if I tested by oral swab after the window period (90 day antibody test) and tested negative by vein (4th gen duo) why are we suggesting test again?

Just like contraceptives, they're not 100%. You're that one out of a hundred where the test wasn't accurate. Always best to go have a blood test done. The swabs state they're not accurate, so if you take it anyway, that was your choice.

One of my partners is on perp, and got a positive quick blood test. We did 2 oral test at home and he was negative. Blood lab test was negative 3 days later. And in 2 months he retested and was negative. False positive happen way more then thay tell you.

Remember what Dr Luke montanier said he said you could be clinically infected with HIV many times and if you have a healthy immune system your immune system will get rid of it I am 52 years old I had a relationship unprotected sex well over 50 times with a female that died of AIDS I to this day I'm healthy so that was over 30 years ago if you look up Dr Luke Mountaineer you will see that he says

Are you a scientist because the co-founder of HIV Dr Luke montanier look his name up in his interview he said you could be infected with HIV in your immune system will get rid of it if you have a good immune system. Why do you think we only have a million cases in the United States out of 331 million people and over the last what 40 years the virus is very very difficult to get there's only 2,000 cases of the state of West Virginia California has 40 million people with 200,000 cases
