HIV seroconversion and rapid test

[bingo0020]

Hi there, I was doubting that I got HIV infection during an exposure more than a month ago, what made me more afraid is that i recently developed mild fever, sneezing and mild rash as well. So I have been to sexual health clinic to do a rapid HIV test which showed NEGATIVE results.My concern is that the rapid test will detect any antibodies after the appearance of early symptoms? i.e. is the appearance of early symptoms an indication that the antibodies (that are detected by rapid test) had started fighting with the virus and the titre can be detected by the test now?
I know such symptoms can be common for any common for anything starting from common cold even!, I just want to get a point to do (or not) the 3-month test.
Kindly advise.

You never had a risk. Move on....

I understand that symptoms aren't necessary to appear, i mean it can appear all, or one or two of them, can be mild, can be sever, mayn't appear at all.......I am just assuming that it was there, is the rapid test then sufficient to prove that it is not HIV?

Your symptoms are not even HIV symptoms even if you had a risk.

I hope so, but, just back to my q that need a medical answer:-

Does the appearance of HIV early symptoms mean that the  seroconversion occurred and the rapid test will test positive during such symptoms period?

Youcan think what you want but you did not have a risk.

Good, it was a bit strange thing , can be summerized as follows:-

1- I had sex with a sex worker (prostitute) and i lost the erection for a while while my penis was inside her, the condom had slightly rolled down but still covering the head, this resulted in - i think - a brief exposure to her vaginal fluids,

2- the other case two weeks after was with another pro and she had offered me an old (seemed expired, not used) condom when we started intercourse i noticed that it may by not sealed enough, the girl wasn't wet enough and changed the condom with another one after brief contact.

3- the third is that a pro had masturbated for me and caught my penis after catching it with the condom on i.e. her hand has caught a mix of her vaginal fluid + lube.

4- The final is a general notice that the penis isn't fully covered as the very first base sometimes isn't covered and such place can be wet with the vaginal fluids when having sex.

these are simply the list of points i have noticed and doubting that it represents a risk..it may seems minimal but i think it is still there!.

Lets start with your risk, what was it?
