HIV test after 1 year?

Had four 4th generation tests at 3, 7, 10 & 13th months. All negative, still symptoms  like intermittent diarrhea, mouth sores, fungal infections.

Can these tests be false negative ?

    After a year of being exposed... You're not likely to get a false negative. You can have HIV with out having a lot of or any symptoms. Or you could get symptoms later on.

    Since you're negative that means you don't have HIV.

    You are confusing HIV infection, which is symptomless, and AIDS which does have symptoms by definition. It is clear that you don't have either of those based on repeat testing. 

    Logic tells you that you have neither and you need to move on and find other causes for those symptoms. The fact that you can't move on means there is an underlying psychological conflict that you can't handle emotionally. It is probably based on your sexual activity and guilt feelings or some sort of conflict like that. That means it will keep occurring until you resolve that conflict. 

    Get psychological help. Whenever logic fails to solve a problem then the origins are psychological.

    Seems unlikely they'd all be false negatives.

    Speak to your doctor.
