ARS RASH?

Guys Im really scared. Im a gay male in sf, and 2 weeks ago i had sex with a guys who i kind of know. We only had oral sex, however i had two big cuts in my mouth that were fresh, maybe several minutes before the actual sex. I was eating candy and i bit the inside of my mouth. And now i had noticed a few spots on my chest, about 4 spots. I havent gotten any fever, however i am still scared that this might be ARS. I have attached a pic, let me know what you think. Ill be waiting for your response.

Hi Chuli09,

It can be frightening to feel things happening to your body, but oral sex is not a risk for hiv.

Do not worry about your symptoms, they cannot be due to hiv. But you have had a pcr rna test ordered anyway, so hang on for the result. Once you get the negative result, you will know what Teak and this forum has been talking about.


May God bless

See your doctor if you are ill, not an HIV concern.

Sorry for taking advantage of this post but now i am really scared. Yesterday I woke up in the middle of the night and my face felt extremelly hot. I took my temperature and my temperature was at 97.5. However I took my temperature again in the morning, my oral temperature was 98.8 and my rectal temperature has not gone down from 100.7. Also, that day I woke up with a bad sore throat, that is still bothereing me and my muscles feel achi. And I know im not making these symptoms up. I feel fun down. Why is it that my body feels hot, my oral temp is not high, but my rectal temp is 100.7 and it has not gone down, It makes me sweat, and i feel flushed. I am experiencing these symptoms and they are scarring me. Im still waiting for my RNA test. COuld this bee because of my fast heart rate? Hypertension? Stress?

You never had an exposure. See a dermatologist if you are concerned about your rash.
