I'm feeling really stressed because for the past five months I've been having this constant feeling of my body being hot to the touch, but all my HIV tests have turned out negative. I've done the p24 test, the Western Blot, and the HIV PCR RNA Quantitative. It's really concerning me because I also feel like I have an internal fever. Could there be something else causing these symptoms or should I be looking into other tests? What steps should I take next?

It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress. Please reach out to a mental health professional or counselor for support.

I'm looking over my blood CBC report and noticed that my RDW-CV is 15.2 and my MPV is 11.3. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Plus, I've been running a fever for the last three days. Could these results be related to my fever? Should I be concerned about these levels?

Your CBC report shows a slightly elevated RDW-CV (15.2%) indicating a moderate variation in red blood cell size, which can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency, or chronic inflammation; meanwhile, your MPV (11.3) is within the normal range; given your fever for the past three days, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out underlying infections or conditions, such as a viral or bacterial infection, that may be causing your symptoms.
