HIV symptoms? Fear is Killing me...
Hi Community,
Sorry to post and ask the question again. On octobet 30th i had condom protected sex with CSW and condom was intact. After 2days i developed lot of folliculitis on chest and i wss worried about HIV and was waiting to test.
On Day 15, i saw a small pimple/sore on the penis skin and i was alarmed and went to doctor he said might be Herpes and sent for all tests including HIV, Herpes,etc...i am trying to relax it is herpes and Not HIV.
I am feeling tired, mostly sleepy all the time with slight sore throat and NO FEVER.But yestetday at Day 17 i agaik noticed Folliculitis on chest filled with little pus and some red rashes on the shoulder area. But morning the rashes disappeared and this afternoon again few rashes appeared.
I am scared to hell. Is this ARS? Does the rashes appear and disappear? I still need to wait for 2weeks for 28th day test. Pls someone clarify me :(

There is no need to test for the encounter you describe.
Protected sex does not pose a risk of HIV transmission.
Your symptoms are not related to this encounter.
Take care

LAB TEST for Ab/Ag came NEGATIVE from the blood sample taken at Day 15 post exposure. Doctor says no need to take any re-test. Lab tests are more accurate than Rapid tests.
Today Day 22, i have reddish throat inflammation and flu like symptoms.
Do i need to take a DUO test on Day 28?
