I had unprotected sex with a girl who was on her period. She was not bleeding profusely, I didn't actually see any blood, but she stated "I am on my period, so you don't need to wear a condom because I can't get pregnant." We began to have sex, but it didn't last long because I pulled away, realizing the risk I had just put myself in for STDs. It has been a month and I have gone through the entire gammit of HIV symptoms, mild flu-like, fever, headaches, sore muscles and joints, sore throat, and just today I noticed a silver dollar sized rash on my wrist. It doesn't itch and it is not bleeding or anything, it looks like a heat rash, but it has reaffirmed my fears that I contracted HIV. What I want to know is, How much more likely is it to contract HIV from a girl who is on her period? And does this rash indicate a prior infection, I had a blood test in January and April turn up negative for antibodies, but could I have been in a window and now this rash is showing a more advanced stage of HIV? My mind is consumed by fear and I'm not able to concentrate on anything but the life and death situation I feel myself in. Please understand that any information will be very greatly appreciated.
