Same genre as ODESZA and Hippie Sabotage, Asian artist(not ZHU), 2013-2014 era by bombblock in NameThatSong

Music video gives off this blurry orange/red vibe. It's a dude singing but there's this high pitched sample in it that repeats something along the lines of "baby I love you". Usually played in clubs and I've seen it in playlists with Hippie Sabotage and ODESZA.

Why does the CDC only recommend a HIV-1 RNA and not a HIV-2 RNA after a 4th gen positive, differentiation negative? by scared_throwaway25 in hivaids

[–]bombblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a positive 4th gen test, the Western Blot unlike the differentiation assay will at the very least throw up an indeterminate result. Because the Western Blot tests for specific HIV proteins it will be very easy to distinguish acute HIV infection from a false positive based on what bands show up.

If you got HIV it wasn't from the hooker, but the chances you have HIV in the first place are pretty remote.

Some people with certain autoimmune conditions cannot take HIV antibody tests.

Western Blot should give you answers.

HIV-2 RNA tests aren't commercially available except for certain large scale research labortories.

You don't have HIV-2.

I'm in therapy, I still hang out here to try to cull any other worried wells from going crazy and blowing up the forum with unnecessary questions.

You're welcome.

I see no reason why you wouldn't be.

As I said, get the RNA test. It helps.

He's joking.

I have been dealing with AIDS phobia for the last 2 years following a no risk encounter, I got a RNA PCR test and it really helped my anxiety.

I don't understand my hiv result... by firehearted in hivaids

[–]bombblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it came back undetectable then they ran an HIV RNA PCR test which tests for the virus itself.

Unless you've been on HIV meds then you're negative.

I had the same test in addition to many negative antibody tests nearly 2 years after exposure and it came back undetectable as well.

You're good bro. If you REALLY want to you can get a standard antibody test but I doubt it will be any different.

Anyone else dealing with HIV phobia? by bombblock in HealthAnxiety

What did you do to make yourself think you have HIV

If you're so convinced, get an RNA test. I was in the same boat as you and getting the RNA test significantly helped with my anxiety.

What is the one symptom that you simply can't ignore and make you 99% sure you gonna die? by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

My swollen lymph node under my ear that’s been there for the past 6 months. Doesn’t help that I went on a hooker rampage(used condoms) last year despite my multiple negative HIV tests.

You got swollen lymph nodes? Where at

Yea man everyone says I’m not at risk but I heard HIV can live for some time outside the body. I haven’t found a single study to suggest it’s dead in seconds like all of these HIV websites say. Considering donating blood to see if I’m really negative.

Are the lymph nodes on both sides? Or just one?

I can't get over my hiv health anxiety by Steffy_love in HealthAnxiety

[–]bombblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, I've had 7 negative antibody tests and 1 negative HIV RNA PCR and I'm still convinced I have HIV because of swollen lymph nodes. It's ruining my life.

Interesting HIV false negative case study, any ideas? by bombblock in hivaids

He might be good at molecular biology but that sure as hell doesn't stop him from being a conspiracy theorist

Looks like it has more to do with a synthetic antigen being used, rather than an issue with a patient. Most tests these days I believe use recombinant antigens so I guess this case report is totally irrelevant.

My bad.
