If it was february 16 then you can defenately test! Don't search the internet..it only make you more anxious and scare you more.Go take an elisa antibody test and you will find out.I wish you the best of luck with your resaults :)

So the condom slip off and it remained in her vegina? You said that you are not yourself for months.First of all,if that happened over 3 months ago and you didn't have anyother uprotected sexoual encounter you can test for hiv and have your resault.But I know about stress.So I am going to elaborate. When you have an acute hiv infection rash is one of the symptoms but as the experts say here...this rash can make its appearence at 2-6 weeks after the exposure and last for about a month.If you have a rash that it remained there for several months then its not related to hiv.I assume you are afraid of testing.I know man.I was there,It was one of the hardest things I ever did.In any case I think that the anxiety and the fear are just as bad.Even worse because ultimately you may have nothing.As they say here hiv is very deficult to catch over one exposure.So how long ago was your exposure?

Hang in there man.What was your exposure to the hiv? I was in exactly the same boat as you. Stress can cause 1000 symptoms. Let me tell you my example.When I thought I was infected I developed a huge amount of stress.I had tachycardia everyday.Nightmares too.My mouth was allways dry no matter how much watter I was drinking.My tongue was burning and I experienced night sweats..trembles...feeling that I was hit by electrical power.Because of my severe anxiety I developed a skin condition called rosacea.I did not have it before.Its real,its there...it was after my exposure..and in the end...I was negative.I have spent nearly 6 months searching about hiv.If you tell me what was your exposure maby I could help you out.
