Rash due to Hiv?

[moodie]

hi,
pls help me out frnds..
i posted my concern of being infected with hiv two months back,i was suggested that no risk at all,
just to share-i had protected intercourse two times with a call girl but during the course the condom slipped off but i continued for atleast 20 over secs before i felt so,later i withdrew & stopped,
second time with same girl on same day, the condom was there throught out the course but she was bleeding heavily which we noticed only after we finished off and switched on the lights,i checked the condom, it was having blood too,since she was a call girl so cant say anything abt her hiv status,
but i had only light fever so far which lasted 3 days after a month of encounter and mild throat infection,
after that so far all is well,
but for last two weeks i m having reddish rash on my body,
though its not much,like one or two red dots on right n left leg,
n two-three on arm,
i suspeect this to be a bug rash,
but just wanna know whether rash appears due to hiv and after how time?
its not painful but itchy as any common rash would be,
pls guide i m stressed out a bit..
thnx in advance.

If the condom did not break then u r in the clear, did you notice any blood on ur penis if not then the condom was intact. If u are still paranoid wait 6 weeks and get tested. here is a site for ARS.

THE BEST POSSIBLY ADVICE I CAN GIVE TO IS TO GO GET TEST. ONCE YOU ENGAGE IN UNPROTECTED INTERCOURSE YOU SHOULD GO GET TEST. I THINK MOST LIKLY YOU ARE NOT INFECTED BUT WHO AM I TO SAY THAT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE AND WORRY FREE JUST GO GET TEST AROUND A YEAR AGO I WAS AT MORE RISK THAN YOU I FINALLY GO GET TESTED AND THE RESULT WAS NEGATIVE. BUT TRUST ME IT DOES'NT HELP WHEN YOU WORRY IT HELP YOU WHEN YOU KNOW..

GOOD LUCK

Dx,

Yes indeed, it was a low risk situation

If you think it was an exposure you need to get tested atleast for your peace of mind so that you could put this entire thing behind and move on

I'm sure you have read "symptoms mean nothing" at least on one thread of every page on this forum and it's true

Get a test done, by now it is good enough to give you a conclusive result

Remember the odds are pretty much in your favor

Best of luck

another thing, some people may not have any ARS at all, read Teak's comments. Only sure way to know is to get tested.

how about the rash, i just found on some other thread that rash due to hiv is non itchy.is it so?
i will get tested soon,
i think there was no blood on penis..but still cant say..

Correct, HIV RASH = MACOPAPULOUS RASH, they are non itchy.

Please stop reading about HIV over the internet, it has not helped any body, won't even help you

Switch off your computer and keep busy

Get tested, to know it rather guessing it

Remember: ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR.

Rashes will not be the only thing due to ARS, High Fever(100+) is most likely to happen and fatigue as the chart from the study shows. the only sure way is to go get tested or try to get some anxiety pills to calm u down in themeanwhile , having blood on ur penis will be very noticeable. As long as you remember that the condom did not break then u should be ok.
