Fear I have HIV despite testing negative. Declining cd4 cells.
Exposure was in April 2024. It’s now May 2026 Since then I’ve done multiple HIV tests including 3rd generation testing, 4th generation testing, and even RNA PCR testing, and every single one came back negative.
Around January 2025 I started feeling extreme fatigue, which made me worried again. Because of that, I decided to start tracking my CD4 and CD8 counts over time.
One thing I noticed is that my CD4 percentage from Quest Labs has consistently gone down over multiple tests. It started around 39% in april 2024 then dropped to 37% in june 2025, then 36% in october 2025, and now 34% in may of 2026 That gradual decline has been causing me a lot of anxiety despite all of the negative HIV testing. The count has also declined from 1037 in june 2025, to 861 in october of 2025, to now 800 in may of 2026. My ratio has also decreased from 1.52 to 1.25.
At this point I either have a rare strain or hiv 2. Im in USA tho so its rare over here. But the gradual decline in my cd4 cells and percent and ratio is worrying. Also if ur in that old group chat I was in plz add me back.
