I've been experiencing severe acute seroconversion symptoms, including thrush, insomnia, weakness, and neuropathy, for the last 7 weeks since having sex with an HIV-positive male on March 23rd. My tests are still negative, but I'm getting sicker every day. The only test I haven't had yet is a CD4. What should I do next?
