Ars rash

[barney99]

Hi, I had quite a high risk exposure where I slept with a  english girl in Thailand without a condom.

2 days later I got a rash on my arm and a day later rashes on my upper thighs, which are still there 6 days in. No other symptoms. Could this be ars rash? Or is it way too soon to experience that?

Thanks

Yes thats soon/too early for the rash to appear. ARS symptoms, if felt, are after 2 to 4 weeks of the virus entering the body.

Are you saying that's 2 days is too soon alpha to recieve symptons of a rash?

your previous answer said "yes that soon"

[barney99]

Also alpha, how do you know all symptons come together and are never stand alone?

Yes that soon. Also, ARS symptoms are not stand alone. They all come together hence its difficult to judge HIV infection basis on symptoms as they are a bunch of common illnesses as the immune system reacts to the newly virus entered to the body which is hampering the immunity.

Hi alpha,  I am going to test. I would like an opinion on the rash though? Does ars come without other symptons and would 2 days after exposure be too soon for it to be ars?

Hi, you need to do a HIV test.

After 28 days - HIV combo/Antigen-Antibody/4th gen test
After 90 days - standard antibody test
After 6-8 weeks - Oral swab test/finger prick test.

By this, I dont meant do all types of test, do any one according to availability of the tests in the laboratory located in your locality.
