Hello,
I have had insertive anal sex on Oct 14, 08. Condom broke; noticed after 5-7 mins. He tells me he is not HIV+.
I had insertive oral sex (unprotected) with another man on Nov. 18, 08 for 10 mins. Before, I had repeated vigorous masturbation. He says his last MSM dates back 6 years and he says he had blood work done since and thinks he is negative.
Next day I started having lower back internal pains, frequent urination, a need to defecate urgently, nausea, gas, belching, and general fatigue. I cannot say if I got a fever: the most I recorded over the week of the Nov 28 was 37.5C.
Then, fatigue became extreme, night sweats began to appears for about 3-4 nights and I defecate about 3 to 7 times a day. Let up the following week, but still night sweats/day sweats, loss of appetite, weight loss. No real difficulty swallowing or dry cough if perhaps a bit of tingly feeling in the throat. In 3 weeks, I lost 8 pounds on my 186lbs frame. Most symptoms cleared by Dec 2, except repeated need to defecate and stools remain either greenish or yellow and recently are accompanied by blood on the paper.
I was tested with point of care rapid test (60 sec finger *****) on December 2, 9 and 15 - all negative.
Yet, starting around Dec 7, I got itchy blotches (3-5mm mosquito bite) on my arms and shoulders in four places and which go away with acne cream, and a red spread on my collar bone extending between both shoulder halfway down to the chest (8 x 4 inches wide). This patch does not go away. It appears sometimes redder especially after a hot bath, and will pale in the next one to two hours without totally going away. Not itchy, but has somewhat of a (little) burning sensation.
My questions are:
1) Are my symptoms likely to be from a possible HIV infection ?
2) Can this be a primary HIV rash ?
3) Is a primary HIV rash possible after all other symptoms have gone or is it usually at the same time ?
4) Do you think it is likely I got infected ?
Thank you.
