Respected doctors ,I was exposed to HIV 47 days back .After 24 hours I started truvada. Took nly two pills (day 2&3) and then discontinued due to severe side effects .After 15 days my PCR RNA and duo test came negative. As I took truvada I thought it would take more time for the virus to show up in blood so I wasn't convinced with 15th day test results. On 28th day western blot test negative. On 30th day I developed severe sore throat ,red dots on arms and shoulder ,nausea and giddiness and mouth ulcers. On 36th day PCR DNA negative. On 45th day I have watery stools ,is this related to HIV? Thanking you with best regards.

If all HIV PCR is negative, nothing to worry about HIV. But, pl. Also get tested for Hepatitis-B. Take Hep-B vaccine. If you are getting unnecessarily tested its madness and called psychiatric disorder termed as HIV-Phobia or Venerophobia. Symptoms you have Are not related to HIV. Diarrhea may be just a bacilliary infection. You do not need testing you need Consultation and sittings of counseling.
