Itchy skin

Hello, on Sept 9 I posted:"hiv through anal fingering and masturbation?". Thread closed by moderator because there was no risk for contracting hiv. I still have itchy body. In the meanwhile I went to the doctor for sore throat and had done hiv antibody testing(too soon I know) after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks antibody and antigen. Negative result. Doctor said sore throat is caused by virus. Two days ago I had cramps, had to vomit, and had a slight fever. Also pimples and small red area on my glans penis. Fever and cramps lasted only 2 days. Further still got folliculitis and acne on chest and upper legs. Don't know what to think.Is it std related referring to the post above?

Kind regards,

Jawser

I know this is a HIV forum but I wanted to post here because to relate my symptoms to my previous post on this forum. And am not still trying to find a HIV link! I understood it very well the first time that there was no risk for HIV. My question is what std could cause this other than HIV? I was thinking for myself maybe scabies or candida infection.Because of the good and direct answers one get here and not to bother my doctor, I thought I ask here. And thanks Sameer10001 and AnxiousNomore for the quick answers. I really appreciate it.

There is an std forum where you will get the best answers for std. But I don't think you can get std this way either in which case  you will need to see a doctor. Self diagnosis is generally wrong.
Here is a link to our STDs forum, where you can get answers to those questions: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/STDs---STIs/show/98

The key is "there was no risk for contracting hiv" and since this is an HIV forum there is nothing to say.

No one but your doctor can diagnose you, and the fact you are still trying to find an HIV link (despite the above advice that you didn't even have any risk) is a strong indication that you will not be able to self-diagnose your health concerns.

There is no way to contract hiv with anal fingering and masturbation. Consult a doctor for these symptoms as they are not hiv related!!
