Thank you very much i will wait for 52 days , but if someone can tell me if the rash alone can be a symptom of hiv ? I asked the girl about her status she said she dont have hiv but i dont know maybe she caught it and didnt check ,
Another thing that i had my teeth bleeding while i was kissing her too much
I think my status is that i was at high risk if considering she had the virus
So iam just asking to not be obssesed untill i test , rash without fever and other symptoms can be an hiv ?

Rash can be a symptom of 1,000 things so it is impossible to try to diagnose one disease hiv from it. You have to see doc for that diagnosis.
HIV is dead in air and in saliva so you can't get it from kissing, or else everyone would have it.
Iam totally thankful for your replies ,
I don't want to diagnose hiv 100 %
But i just want to know if rash ALONE can be a symptom for hiv without any other symptoms ?
Because i read alot that it cant be alone and other sites says it can be alone so iam confused

A duo is conclusive after 4 weeks and any other like the rapid takes 3 months before you can test.
I meant your Oraquick can't be done for 3 months.
Please if u can explain for me whats duo and whats rapid ? Because i dont know any thing about them
Is oraquick cosidered due or rapid ?
So oraquick isnt a good choice now or what?
Its about one month now or more exactly 38 days
You have to go to a clinic for a 4th gen, also called a duo. So if you want to wait for 52 more days you can use the Oraquick.

I'm sorry, but the ONLY way to know your status is by testing.  There is no way to guess by your symptoms whether you are infected with HIV or not.  Some people who are infected never have any symptoms, and others do.  It is not possible for anyone here to tell whether your rash is due to HIV or not.

The rash is probably NOT due to HIV, since HIV rashes do not itch at all.
Thank you for reply , i now ordered oraquick for home test , its by swab , is that will be accurate for me ?
