No it is not possible to have an ARS rash at 8 weeks no matter if you had a risk or not.

Your immunity is fine. PEP wuld not effect anything for it to come on 8 weeks later.

What was your risk.

Can never use symptoms as an indication. You can test for HIV now and get a real good indication and at 3 months for a conclusive result.

So you dont rule out the symptoms are because of hiv??
What do you think is will be the % accuracy of the results if I take the test right now..

I rule out symptoms because of time frame and because you can never use symptoms as an indication or a guide. Symptoms are meaningless, if you read posts the majority of people have "symptoms" when they didn't even have a risk.
At 8 weeks it is in the upper 90's%.

3 month antibody test is the only approved test that will tell you your status.

If you must take a test then do an antibody test but make sure you folow up with a 3 month test.
