Hello,
To make a long story short, i am in a relationship since 10 years, 6 years ago i made a huge mistake while on vacation in thailand and had protected insertive sex with a sw and the condom broke, i immediately pulled out. Anyway, i got super scared and anxious with HIV and performed an HIV test at 3 weeks post exposure, came back negative. Then i eventually got a rash on my torso, soles and feet + fever and **** like 2-3 weeks after that. I thought **** I have to have HIV and freaked out even more. I went to test at over 6-8 weeks again and it came back negative. I also tested for Syphilis, chlamyida and ghonorrea and all came back negative. I remember an immense relief . I then continued with my life and did not put myself at risk again. Now 6 years later i stumbled on an article about syphilis being latent for years and how it goes unnoticed + the typical rash (which seems to be exactly the same i had back then). I'm now worried i had a false negative test result or maybe it was too soon (i m pretty sure it was 3 months after and also it was definitely after the rash event) and i read false negative at that point are extremly rare, i still can't figure out how come i had that rash that was spread on my body. Now i fear i might have been living thinking i was in the clear while i am actually not? anybody to share some insight ? thank you so much for the help
