2weeks hiv Early Symptoms?
I had unprotected sex with an old doctor last December 23,2017. After 2 days, my vagina itch and had normal discharges like creamy/cloudy cottage cheese like vaginal discharge. 4days after the exposure, I started to have sore throat that's why I immidiately took erithromycin 2x a day for 3 days. My vaginal itch and discharge lasted almost 2 weeks that's why I went to my obgyne right away and said it's bacteria and I have a little cut in my cervix, and it's not sexually transmitted disease. So she gave me vaginal cream clotrimazole,flucmazole and vaginal suppository. By that day of check up, I noticed my palms are peeling in patches. Also my cleavage has rashes that is itchy and painful and it's like burning, same at my upper back. I notice I have breakouts in my face with small puss. I'm also experiencing headache, sensitive with light, stiff neck, muscle aches, palms and sole sweat, dry skin. This is all new to me. I'm very scared that I got infected with hiv.
Was it vaginal or oral?

I had Unprotected sex oral and vaginal. Experienced vaginal itch and abnormal discharges 2days after the exposure. Then headache, muscle pain, rash, acne breakouts, peeling palms (patches) and dry skin after 2-3 weeks of exposure. I can't test for hiv yet coz it should be 3 months after the exposure. I'm just worried about the symptoms I am experiencing right now.
No, you can test with a duo after 4 weeks. 3 months is very outdated.
Doctors can't diagnose HIV from symptoms so you will not be able to either. Try to relax until 28 because nothing is pointing towards you having HIV. The first step to relaxing is stop googling for symptoms cold turkey, and the second step is to stop examining your body..
Because of the above, there is no useful info on Google so anything you find there will just make you more anxious.

That exactly what my obgyne doctor said. If I continue searching in google for symptoms and stuffs, I'm gonna end up insane. But isn't it rashes and peeling palms are signs of weak immune system? By the way you for making me feel relax atleast. I'll do my test.
Only thing to do is follow both our advice and stop examining your body - an HIV doctor wouldn't do that.
