Advice needed

[Bd6070]

Hello, 10.5 weeks ago I had insertive anal sex with a transgender sex worker and a condom was used. Got tested for gonorrhoea & chlamydia shortly after and they came back negative. At 7.5 weeks I had a rapid HIV test which came back negative. Recently I have noticed redness on my abdomen which comes and goes and I am very concerned about it. I plan to get tested again in a few weeks according to the guidelines. I would like some info if this redness could be related to HIV, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you are sure that your condom did not fail during sex, you do not have any need to get yourself tested for HIV. Your 7.5 weeks rapid test is highly reassuring but not conclusive. To kill your doubt, get a test in next 1-2 weeks, collect conclusive report and rule out the possibility of HIV.

Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated. I plan to get tested again at the end of next week as that will be 12 weeks. I am checking for every and any sign that could be related hiv which isn't a good thing to do but the anxiety is getting to me. Hopefully I get good news next week. Thank you again.
