Good morning,
1 month ago I might have had an exposure. I was completely drunk and went to a CSW and had :
- protected vaginal sex (using a condom) - don't remember if the condom stayed there and did not break. I was too drunk to ejaculate.
- handjob (no condom)
- she fingered me anally (using a condom on her finger, however not sure if the condom was new - worst case is that she might have used the condom used for vaginal sex).
After 5 days (exactly 120 hours after the potential exposure) I realized a macular rash on my upper back and upper arms - it did not itch, lesions were slightly red, oval with diameter 1-2 cm. Potentially a symptom of ARS, this rash made me worry, as I realized that I don't really recall what I did there. I took an antihistamine and calcium for a couple of days. The rash began to dissapear after about 4 days (it took 6 days to clear up completely), therefore I am not sure if the antihistamine / calcium made it go away.
2 days after the rash began, I developped:
1) weird feeling in my chest - which made me cought with a dry cough - this lasted only for a couple of hours
2) pain in my neck - I attributed it to some excercises that I did for my back 1 day before (60 minutes of excercises in a clinic involving a lot of movement of my head, hanging my body up with only my shoulders and head touching the ground, etc.). The pain went away after 3 days.
Also, 1 week later I developped some very mild buring sensation around or in my penis - very difficult to determine where it is, also it happens quite rarely, perhaps a few times during the days.
I have no explanation for the rash, cannot think of any cause. Could it be possible that:
1) ARS manifests itself with only a rash?
2) ARS rash occurs so early (120 hours after exposure)?
Please advise.
