Thanks Mitch. I appreciate you directing me to that post. i feel slightly more at ease now.
Consider reading this post
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/ORAL-SEX-All-flavours-/show/965706, it will help you to understand why oral sex is nil risk for HIV
I know you find it a waste of time/space when ppl question whether oral sex puts them at risk for hiv. While the risk is statistically very minimal, there is still a slight risk even if it is 0.0001 or something tiny like that.
in my situation, there may have been direct contact between the blood on her chapped lips and my mucous membrane on my penis. Doesn't that put me at risk? rather than just threatening to kick a worried person off the forum, wouldn't it be more helpful and equally quick to just answer my my question #2 with a "yes' or 'no'? Thanks you for your time.

okay, i understand that just having symptoms does not mean anything when it comes to HIV. But I would like confirmation of the following:
1) 6-7 months after exposure is too far removed for it to be ARS rash?
2) And, 6-7 months after exposure is also too short a time period from time of possible hiv exposure to actually develop skin problems?
Can someone please respond? I know I should get tested just to calm myself down.
You would need to go to a dermatologist to receive a correct diagnosis for any skin conditions.
Skin conditions are unrelated to HIV. Some HIV-infected persons will develop ARS symptoms 2-4 weeks after the exposure, and one of the symptoms is a rash that does not itch.
If you are worried about your HIV status, test for HIV.
