Hi
Two weeks ago I had a protected sex with a sex worker for half an hour. I changed my condom two times, because it was taken out during the sex. But somehow, I am sure that I haven't intercourse without condom. I had also some fingering by her for a while, unprotected unfortunately.
Actually, after one week, I saw some rashes on my arms and small upper part of my back, tiny rashes with itch/burning. When I saw the rashes I searched in the internet and I understood that rashes could be sign of HIV infection. The rashes were not changed or increased during these five days, but I feel that I am going to have some more in the back.
I don't have fever, but I feel nausea and somehow swallowing problem (maybe sore throat) during the day (not night). I have not other signs of HIV infection like fatigue, joint pain, headache, diarrhea, night sweats, etc.
I called to the woman, but there was no answer unfortunately.
I am really nervous and all I did in this week was reading about HIV signs and symptoms and tried to analyse myself. Here are my questions and that I appreciate your help:
- How much is my risk that I have infected with the virus?
- Can second condom increase my risk for infection?
- I read that the rashes are somehow big and they covers all over your body? Are small rashes and just a part of body can be considered as HIV symptom? It is 6 days that I have them in my arms and back, without change, but itching/burning.
- Should I expect that the rashes grow or disappear in the coming days (weeks)?
- Is there any HIV test that could show my situation now?
- I prefer to do the HIV test as soon as possible. Can I do HIV test at home?
I really appreciate your answers.
