Unprotected Exposure
by panther77, Nov 07, 2009 09:08AM
Hi JeanClaude i need your help please, i am a gay male , a month ago i had sex with a guy and unfortunately we didn't use a condom.
(there was no cum involved) three weeks after that i had a small dots on my forearms and on the sides of my trunk and a little bit on my stomach and back nothing on face or neck- it wasn't an itchy rash it was just very small red points and i could count them 2 days after they were a bit more in numbers so i went to see my doctor and she did a general test for me my WBC count was 10300 (norm is 4000-9800) and the Lymphocytes 48.8 %(norm 20-45).
the doctor told me that since it is the lymphocytes that are high and the WBC that means i have a viral infection ( but she didn't develop) i had no diarrhea, no swollen lymph nodes no sore throat and no fever.
she gave me antibiotics (Zitromax ) that i took and the red points disappeared within three days.
do u think it is possible that this might be due to HIV seroconversion?
if i test now knowing that i had the dots last week would i be able to know my status?
what could it be other than that?
thnx

You have had a high risk exposure, end. Do you know the other persons status? ARS always starts if at all 2-4 weeks post exposure. You can test at 8 weeks which will give you good indication but you need to test at 3 months for you conclusive result. By the way, if yu have viral infection, antibiotics will not help.
