Ongoing itch after exposure

[clark112]

Hi everyone, I have waited long after I believe to get tested - 6 months - rapid test negative - after an exposure with a hiv girl. I normally shave my chest every couple of months or so, but right after the exposure I started having an itchy chest, after I shave again the itch goes away for a couple of weeks. This has been 6 months now off and on. I just have never have had this problem before. Saw my dermo, don't have any answers for me. I also got tested for syphilis - negative. Does this sound like an ARS rash or have anything to do with another STD? Any help would be cool. I just don't know what else I should do. Thnx.

What was the risk you're concerned over? The time to a CONCLUSIVE antibody test where there was an actual risk is 3  months, not 6.

Unprotected Vaginal. I'm just worried because when I went in at 6 months the lady told me to test at 9 months and 12 months just to make sure because she was a confirmed positive partner

Not at all, 3 months is CONCLUSIVE. Occasionally, a Dr. will suggest a patient retest to 6 months for their own peace of mind, NOT for clinical relevance.

Thank you. So what I am experiencing has nothing to do with HIV? Thank again

Your NEGATIVE result @ 3 months proves it.
