Could this be hiv? Worried
Hi there. Roughly 3 months ago I had an encounter with another guy. We started off rubbing penis heads together and then giving each other hand jobs and then I received oral from him, I didn't give him oral.
Ever since the encounter my penis head had been slightly red, some days more than others. And I have had a slight rash on my upper body. I got tested a week after, 6 weeks after and just before 12 weeks and all tests came back negative. I also went to the doctors and he said that it looks like pitysiris rosea that I have on my back. I still have the body rash and I'm extremely worried, it seems to get worse when I work out and play football. Do you think the actions performed could cause hiv? Do you think the tests were reliable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sexually, you would have to have had unprotected vaginal/anal sex to acquire hiv. Nothing else is a risk. I don't know what your rashes are, but certainly not hiv.
Oral sex doesn't carry risk of contracting HIV. You didn't have to test for hiv in the first place. You had no risk in regards to hiv. Continue to work with your dermatologist.

What about rubbing penis heads together? Is this a risk of hiv? And what could the body rash be?
And are my tests conclusive?
