Purple spot on penis?

While away on vacation in India (6 months ago), I had sex with a girl I met up with while drinking, I couldn't remember anything really from the night before. I got tested 2 1/2 months later and it came back negative, I've been relatively healthy since. However, everytime something happens I still get a bit freaked out, yesterday I noticed a purple spot about the diameter of a pencil midway up the shaft of my penis, it just appeared within the course of a day. It looks alot like a burst blood vessel under the skin, its not raised and the skin itself is intact but I can't help thinking its Karposi sarcoma. Am I just being irrational?

I agree...move on with your life, HIV is not your problem. Although, If I noticed a purple spot on my penis, I'd freak out also...just due to the fact that I now have a purple penis!

I agree with Mike.
I don't think you need another test, unless it makes you feel better

Yes, you are being irrational

10 weeks negative means you don't have HIV.

For your peace of mind go ahead and get tested at the 12th week, your result won't change.

Oh yea, thats not "Karposi sarcoma" by the way, ease up !
