At Risk With Symptoms

[johnDM]

Hello Everyone! On April 4th I had sex with a girl in which the condom broke when she was barely starting her period I noticed the condom broke, but did not pull out until 30 seconds after, later I ejaculated and washed off it was when I took the condom off when I saw a little bit of blood in the condom she said she must have JUST started her period. Two weeks later same thing happened with another girl, the condom broke 30 seconds later I pulled out and later ejaculated, I also washed off, she was not on her period or anything.

Three weeks ago I had a groin lymph node, and a neck lymph node that got slightly swollen for about 4 days then one of my right tonsils was swollen for about four days as well. I also had a very small rash a week ago in the center of my chest that is still slightly there, but right now I am experiencing mild muscle and nerve aches throughout my body that are bothersome for the past two days. No fever, night sewats or any other symptoms. Where my risks high? is it normal for symptoms to be seperate instead of all at once? Cause I have no idea what else it could be.. I do go to the Gym 5 days a week, work, play sports I have been lacking sleep lately... Please help, Thank you!!

your results are HIIIIIGHLY unlikely to change at the 3 month point when you obtain your conclusive result

Your tests are very reassuring, but not conclusive. A test to be considered conclusive, should be done after 3 months of last exposure

Thank you Lizzie I took an Oraquick test today came back negative this is the 9th week from first exposure and also 7th week from second exposure. How accurate do you think this test is at this window , including the fact that I have had swollen lymph nodes and a small rash.

to add…this test should be after your last exposure

sounds like you need a lesson in "how to wear a condom" so this will stop happening to you.

symptoms come at 2-4 weeks post exposure and last for 1-2 weeks.  these symptoms come at once…not one after another over a period of time.  with that being said…symptoms don't diagnose hiv…a test at the appropriate time does.

you can have a duo test at 4 weeks or an antibody test at 6 weeks to get a good indication of your status.  follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result.
