ARS symptoms are not special. They are general illness that any human being can catch once the immune system goes for toss For example continuous fever, extreme body pain, fatigue etc so if a common man has these doesnt mean he has HIV hence a test determines the presence of the virus.
can please help and this will be my last question in this thread.This is my situation after the mentioned exposure.after 5 days i developed some red itchy bumps on the shoulder,knee area,leg and disappeared after 2 weeks leaving some scars till date.at 10th day i had some whiskey with ice and developed a sore throat after sleeping and lasted for 12 hrs.then at 14-15th day there were 3-4 pimple like bumps in my right cheek beard area and some back pain and neck pain was also there lasted for 4-5 days.again on 26-27th day i developed 2 small itchy bumps one on my stomach and one on the shoulder and a mild headache was present. Another 2 small non itchy red raised spots in back at 31st day. are these are symptoms of ARS??
thanx a lot for your reply.......
To my knowledge there are no doctors here. Having said that, having re-read your original post I have to repeat what you were already told. You never had a risk and you do not need testing and you certainly do not need nPEP!
But that is something only you and your Doctor can decide. In light of what you have posted nPEP would be a very irrational thing to do.
Plz,dr answer it is almost 72 hours
sir thanx but some amount of doubt is in my mind.cause the condom didn't seem to be broken to me cause i had sperms in reservoir tip and it was covering my penis.but i can't confirm if the condom had some tiny holes or not.
and my second doubt is she put the condom on my penis but before that she somehow touched my penis for seconds.so is there any chance that if her hand was bleeding(which i m not sure but can't confirm) of transmitting hiv?
please answer

Thanx but do i need to take PEP?it was only a single encounter and an insertive vaginal sex.
You wore a condom and the condom didn't break...hence...you had zero risk!
