I kissed her as well but she had cold sore which I was not able to see in the dark. After 4 weeks of this event i got shingle on my left armpit and back. Is shingle sign of hiv? I did ellisa test which is negative and gave test for pcr hiv as well and waiting for result. But i cannot sleep and cannot do work. Please some help me and tell me the answer of the following questions:

1- Is shingle sign of acute or primary hiv sign?
2- What is my percentage of getting hiv?
3- Can some one get hiv with kissing on cold sore for one min?
4- What are the early symptoms of hiv?
5- How accurate is pcr test?

Please reply me back as soon as possible.

Thanks-

1. No
2. Zero because you had protected sex
3. No
4. Symptoms are misleading most of the time so do not confuse yourself with symptoms.
4. PCR is not a test for primary diagnosis and HIV screening
