HIV/ STD symptoms and risk

RISK in WK38-09 with a sex worker in singapore.
Protected vaginal/ unprotected ORAL.
Wk1: Gonnorhea/Chlamydia:- Negative
I got tested by (p24antigen+ HIV1&2 Antibody) inWK 4-5 (IV .24)WK7-8 (IV .21)and at 85 days to be specific (IV .18).
Test: http://www.lalpathlabs.com/NewlplSite/FullTestMenuResult.aspx?Search=AIDS&id=Disease
After 11-12 weeks some small red spots (little raised) starting from
my armpits till my belly button on both sides of stomach, not on stomach.
Also 4 lil big red spots on both sides of my neck and 2 on my back.
Also to mention after 2 days old small red spots itched and dried but few new ones visible, no other symptoms.
In wk 40 I had some cough/fever but everyone at home had it as season changed here.It lasted for a week.
I visited a general Physician yesterday he suggested some allergy with clothes or Food as anyviral infection RASH have Pus. I am taking antiallergic medicines he prescribed.
Also want to mention here that I have Hyperthyroidism and take 100mg Eltroxin daily morning.
My Questions:
1. Any other BLOOD test may suggest what exactly this rash is, or wait till 6 months -another antibody test ?
2. Is there a possibility that earlier fever and cough I had and now these RASHES suggest ARS ?
3. Is there a possibility that the pathlab does not handle Blood sample carefully and as HIV virus/ antibodies
   are not detected ? Do they always know how they have to keep the samples safe
4. Now if it is really ARS symptom (the rash), should I again get tested post WK13/wk14
5. I have Hyperthyroidism and take 100mg Eltroxin daily, Can this delay symptoms
6. Once I used dotted condom(latex duex dotted), is that also good enough
7. It may be symptom of any other STD If yes what other tests I should undertake.
8. All the intances I recieved ORAL, once ORAL was with lots of saliva of the girl and then had vaginal sex, with condom. Does the risk increase by having Vaginal Sex after oral
Appreciate a quick response.
Thanks

Hello there,

I have answered your question fully.

With respect to this further question:-

Do you suggest visiting skin specialist or any other blood test ?

No, I do not but obviously if you think you are still unwell then you should consult with a doctor in your home town.

I'm closing this thread now.

best wishes, Sean

Hello Doc,

Hello, you're impatient aren't you!

1) No, you're HIV negative
2) No
3) Thats just plain silly
4) You're not HIV positive. You do not need to test again
5) No
6) Of course
7) If you are concerned about  other STD test then ask your clinic to test for the routine ones. I don't believe from what you say that there is anything significant wrong with you.
8) No.

best regards, Sean
