HIV DUO @ 30 Days

My HIV DUO test came back negative after 30 days. I have what I would call a rash on my chest, shoulders and back and moving down to my stomache. It's alot of red dots. When they first come in some have what looks like white heads. I haven't had any symptoms other than this and what I percieve to be some swollen glands in my cheeks and aches and pains off and on in my groin and arm pits.

Should I follow up testing?  I had protected sex with a Chinese prostitute in Malaysia. I am worried that maybe the condom broke without my recollection.

Also had HIV RNA and HIV DUO at 2 weeks - Negative
HIV DUO at 3 weeks - Negative

I understand what you dare saying, however had it went unnoticed, is the DUO test at 4 weeks conclusive?

I am having some symptoms that I can't explain. Do I need to test again at 3 months?

If the condom had failed in a way that would have put you at risk (I.e. your penis head was no longer covered) I believe you would have known it.  Otherwise protected sex is a no risk situation.  Of course, all your tests would be negative.

No further testing is warranted.  You can move on.
