Please help Teak, Lizzie, Vance, everyone. Need your expert advice.
I had unprotected sex with a sex worker 10 weeks back. Actually the condom broke & I didn’t realize it and ejaculated inside. I got tested at 5 weeks post exposure, it came back negative. Got tested again 10 weeks post exposure it came back negative. After this encounter I have a small rash kind of thing on my scrotum which gets itchy some time and yesterday I noticed a rash on my penis head. Till last week (10th week) I didn’t face any symptoms, Now I have 2 swollen lymph nodes on both side of my neck just above the collar bone. Last week I had stuffy and runny nose with tiredness but no fever. I also have a couple of rash like things appearing on my hand. I don’t have any diarrhea or fever. Is it possible that I am seroconverting now and do these symptoms indicate a hiv infection. Is it likely that my 10 weeks post exposure negative may turn positive later. Please help I am going mad. Thank you all
Having unprotected sex with a sex worker is a horrendous blunder. You should avert this in the future if you come clear outa this. Thats after testing only @ 3 months or later. Symptoms may very well be caused by the anxiety and they would keep haunting ya until you get a negative test result now that you know what they are like. Get tested and get rid of all fear ..
Good Luck .....

NO you are not seroconverting ! ! !
with today's tests...it is HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY unlikely that your test result will change,
chill out...test at 3 months for that conclusive result (expect a negative)
