Acute Hiv Infection Rash ?
I recently had gay oral sex as the receptive partner with a total stranger, an older man probably 65 yo. During oral sex his penis bled a little bit and I also had a gum infection at the time. He ejaculated in my mouth and I swallowed. He did not touch my penis. 5 days later I developed 3 small genital lesions that appeared to look like mollucsum contagiosum. 3 days later I had a massive headache which eventually developed into lower back pain, muscle pain and malaise. 12 days after exposure I rushed to the Emergency Room as I felt strange sensations in my brain. I was given a swab for herpes which eventually came back negative. The next day I had a massive toothache that turned out to be periodontal disease that was treated by a dentist. For a few weeks I had flu like feelings and lower back pain etc. Including a feeling of infection on my throat and esophagus. After a month I was tested for Herpes HIV Hepatitios Chlamdydia and Ghonerea , all negative. Gradually I developed a cough that comes and goes. This week, a month and a week after exposure, I developed a moving rash that appears as a little mosquito bite type spot with a light red surrounding area about the size of two quarters or so. They appear on my chest mostly and disappear after an hour and another one appears somewhere else. Does this sound like Acute HIV infection?
