Concern!

[antony10]

Hello people ,

I came here not to long ago concerning my exposure which was protected sex twice one 3 years ago and the other one 2 years ago. I know I've been told by doctors that i dont need to test and that I'm fine also by you guys that I dont have HIV . Unfortunately though I still get some rashes since about 6-7 months ago that come and go specially on my thighs and legs,some rashes on my chest with little bumps.Is it something to be concerned ? I've read online that most HIV positive (90%) have had a change in their skins. Do you guys think I should test ? Or is just me being paranoid. Are condoms that super safe?

I know you were told previously that you had no risk.  Protected sex is safe sex from HIV. As long as the condom was covering the head of your penis, you didn't risk HIV.  Why are you continuing to associate your health symptoms with HIV when these are the facts?  You are most definitely being paranoid and reading misinformation.  You should stay off the internet and let go of this fear because you had no risk.  You are wasting your time and energy continuing to fixate on this.  If you can't let it go, then speak to a therapist for help. Said with empathy because worrying about something that you don't need to be for so long is hard.

Yea definitely , I will this time move on and also I have already consulted a therapist which I'll be seeing once a week . Thank you a lot for your words , they are very comforting! It is always this "what if" behind my head which I have to eliminate.

You had no risk because you used condoms. Any rashes you may be having are not related at all.

Also my exposure was with CSW which both told me they where clean
