Looking for insight on recently developed rash
Hey guys, just a quick background- I had unprotected sex with a female a little over a year ago. This is the first and only person I have ever had unprotected sex with, and never noticed anything out of the ordinary in the weeks and months following that exposure. I recently developed a small rash on 2 of my toes that does not itch, is sorta red/pink with what looks like misquito bites. Is this something I should be concerned with? Looking at all these internet posts has got me freaking out to say the least. Thanks for your help
the timing and specific location of the rash are not indicative of infection.
if you are concerned about your "exposure"...then test.

Oh, and another side note, I was tested back in 2008 which was right before this incident, and it is the only time I've had sexual contact since the test
Thanks for the quick reply Lizzie, and I think you will enjoy Auburn. Lots of things to do, and of course Im a huge Tigers fan so gamedays are always a blast! haha. Lizzie if you dont mind, what sorta knocks out the hiv scare about my rash? To be honest Im a little paranoid when it comes to things like this, and really just looking to get this off my mind. Thank you
the rash on your toes is not hiv related
the only way to know one's status is by testing
