HIV Rash on face?

Hi,

I had protected vaginal sex with a female sex worker 13/14 weeks ago. I stupidly recieved a blow job without a condom though so went for a STD test 5 weeks later, accompanied with a HIV test, both were negative. This was a normal anti-body test I presume. At that time I had a bad sore throat, cough, mouth ulcer and a cold. 7 weeks after I saw the escort I had bad sickness, flu, diaheria, night sweats. Only symptoms I haven't had is a fever for a few days and haven't felt any swollen nodes. Had anxiety for a bit a while back but got over it and moved on, coz after all I did use protection for the sex.

But now I have a wierd burning sensation in my face and it looks a little red. It doesn't really hurt, my face just feels a bit hot. Could this be anything to do with HIV? The sex worker said she had no STD's or HIV and was tested regularly - she was right about being clear of any STD's I suppose.

What are the % chances of this sex worker having HIV? i.e. - 1 in 100, or 1 in 200 etc etc?

Kind Regards, Michael from United Kingdom

Some people don't have any symptoms at all, but those that do, have high fevers.

Thank you. Just for the record is it fairly common that no fever = no ARS.
When a virus like HIV gets in your body and starts replicating itself you will have a fever?, as your body increases its temperature to make it harder for the virus to replicate? I had a hot temperature a couple of hours then I was sick and it went away.


Thanks

It wouldn't matter if she had HIV or not. You had protected sex. No, you don't need to test.
