Is It Possible To Experience HIV Symptoms and Still Test Negative For The Virus?

September 5, 2023 | by Sravani Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's

Yes, it is possible to experience symptoms that are similar to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and still test negative for the virus. This can happen during the “window period” shortly after infection when the virus may not yet be detectable in standard HIV tests. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about HIV, as they can provide guidance on testing and appropriate follow-up.

If you suspect you may have been exposed to HIV or are experiencing symptoms, it’s essential to get tested and, if necessary, retested after the window period to confirm your status accurately. Additionally, there are various types of HIV tests, and their sensitivity and accuracy can vary, so discuss your testing options with a healthcare provider.
