unprotected oral

Doctor, On feb 5th i had unprotected oral sex for about 2 mins  at an asian massage parlor in the us.On feb 9th i got a rash in my groin area that was itchy. by morning it was gone.saw a nurse at a planned parenthood on feb 11th check me out told her what happen she said i was fine. but still did std an hiv test both came back neagitive. a day later rash is back on my stomach hips back under my armpits an iner arm.got to doc they give me shot an steriods they went away. come back at night and usally gone by morring. saw a dermatoligist he said maybe a relergic reaction to something but they were faded so it was hard for him to tell.flared up that night so i took pics an showed him the next day. he said looked like hives gave me allegera took it at noon never saw them again that was feb 18th. could this be ARS RASH..Could i have picked up HIV.Also she did stick her finger in my butt right before ejaculation.

Welcome to the Forum.  The exposure you describe was virtually no risk for HIV and the rash you describe is not suggestive of early HIV infections.  Chances are your partner does not have HIV, most commercial sex workers do not.

As far as receipt of oral sex is concerned, the quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex.  Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.  

As for your rash, the rash of acute HIV typically appears about two weeks, not 4 days following exposure and when it occurs it is not typically hives which is what you describe.  HIVs are a fairly common consequence of allergic reactions, and in many instances the people who get them never know what causes them.   This is likely a good bet in your situation.  

Your test result at two weeks, not that you needed one, would have detected over half of HIV infections acquired two weeks earlier.  In my opinion, you really have nothing to worry about and do not need further testing.

Hope this comment is helpful to you.  EWH

Would ars rash be itchy. and would it show up at night then fade away.

If this would have been ars rash would i have shown positive on a test while i had breakouts.

You were not att risk, as I said.  I will provide a few facts related to your question and then this thread will end.

The rash of ARS does not come and go. It is not typically itchy.  Blood tests are typically positive about a week after the beginning of ARS.

You need to stop worrying.  I will not fuel your anxiety with additional answers to anxiety driven questions.  EWH

just loking for some re asurance. will take a test at four weeks  and be done with it.

And the fingering in my butt was also no risk.

I did have a test 7 days after my rash first showed up.so the rash wouldnlt show up in a spot an fade in the night then show up somewere else than fade away?
