Im not sure about that precise test, but in the USA, HIV tests are usually 99!.9% accurate!. After infection most people will test positive after 30 days, a few take 3 months and even fewer take 6 months to test positive!. After the 6 month period the test should be 100% accurate if you have not had any further exposure!. http://www!.hivtest!.org/Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well the symptoms that you are having sem to be serious!. Now I am not a medical professional nor do I pretend to have a clue of what I am talking about so don't take what I say as such!.
