Three years post expsore

[1234thorn1234]

Hello,

Three years ago I had several encounters where where I had both receptive and insertive anal sex (all protected I believe) and both gave and received oral sex (unprotected) with other males.  

Two years ago I was sick and had many symptoms similar to HIV infection.  I have been fine for the past year.  Lately I have had a dermatitis rash in the front of both ears and on the left temple (responded well to cream) and I have been really fatigued during the day and at night.

I'm worried these are the end of the asymptomatic period and reflect HIV infection.  I also recognize this could be stress or depression / guilt.  I also have severe allergies.

I know the best answer is to get a test but that is frightening in itself.  

What were my risks for exposure?  Are these symptoms of the HIV virus depleting my immune system?

You didn't have a risk for HIV in the first place. Why would you think you would have late state symptoms? You did not put yourself at risk for HIV from the exposure you describe. Time to put this behind you.

Anxious,

Thanks for  your comments.

Just to clarify.  I'm not thinking I have SRA symptoms - rather late stage symptoms that might be present at 2 or 3 years post exposure.  

In addition to the slight rash and fatigue I also have a very dry mouth at times.

Condom protected sex is safe sex, you had NO risk for HIV from the exposures you describe. Further, ARS presents at 2-4 weeks post exposure and is almost always accompanied by a very high temp, body rash and extremely sore throat. Not that you need to test, but if you want to an oral antibody only instant test would give you conclusive results at this point.
