At About 4 Weeks after Exposure

At About 4 Weeks after Exposure

I tested negative at about three weeks and a half, I know that's not conclusive.

I was thinking though; if I had unprotected sex with a streetwalker (but I only penetrated for 10 seconds), I am uncircumcised, and she gave me chlamydia, is that high risk?

(See my other post)

My shortness of breathe went away after a week, the night before it went away I took some NyQuil and some Robitussin before I went to bed, does the ARS sore throat dissapear easily with medications?

I've had minor night sweat over the past week, maybe I'm just imagining it but my clothes feels a bit moist, nothing extreme though, the night sweats are of s small degree. I've definitely gotten my appetite back though.

Another question, I remeber when I had the rash it was on my chest and simply looked like acne, it wasn't raised or dark-colored, can the HIV rash look a bit like acne (small red bumps like pimples)?

Thank you for any help.

"They would all come on the same day, if you were having true ARS. They aren't spread out over days let alone weeks."

Is this true, can others confirm this? Like many others I am quite anxious, mostly about the rash I got on my chest after a week.

So if this is true then it is highly improbable that I am experiencing ARS heres my timeline:

1 week after possible exposure: Developed rash on chest

2 weeks after: Dry cough that worsened for a week until it disappeared when I took NyQuil and Robitussin.

I'd really appreciate a response.

after i had risky encounter 2 monthes after the encounter i was sleeping ok but after i started having a tingle on the tip of my penis i started to panic quite a lot i had gotten something and started swaeting at night from the anxiety and hardly sleeping especially after reading a lot on internet about STDs but after i tested negative for all i am sleeping ok what i mean is the anxiely plays too much until you get tested anxiety makes you feel you have something its better sptaying off the net until you get tested you may get chalmida for 10 sex but meaby herpes as it is more infectious.

      I know anxiety plays some part, but the rash and pain while urinating came before I started reading up on HIV. That's the only thing that worries me. The whole timing of my symptoms, lack of severity of those symptoms, and negative test at three weeks (although not conclusive) bring me great relief.
