Acute HIV question: Morbilliform Rash/No Fever

[minorujun]

I had unprotected anal sex with a man 4 weeks ago--I know I should not have.  I know.  And I didn't want to.  I was top, he was bottom for only about a minute after which I pushed him off.  Alarmingly I noticed an abrasion on the head of my penis after sex. Exactly one week ago I become very ill.  I've had extreme fatigue, unexplained bumps on my lips, and vertigo.  Two days ago I thought the worst was over; the fatigue had waned and I began to feel better. But yesterday I broke out all over my arms and torso in a morbilliform rash.  I have tested negative for mono and HIV three days ago, though the HIV test would still be negative despite acute HIV infection.  My questions are as follows: Does the HIV acute rash always appear at the same time as the onset of other symptoms, or does it appear in a more piecemeal way, perhaps after other symptoms have resolved?  Also, does the rash always appear with a fever?  I have had no fever during this illness.  I feel as if this must be acute HIV infection, and that my doctors, by simply giving me an antibody test, are not doing enough to help me.

Yes its true, Symptoms tells nothing about HIV status, every human beings gets illness
and stress and anxiety are most causes for the same for all folks suffer from hiv fear after exposure

dont go with any symptoms, just test at 6 weeks for excellent indication of your status and carry on for 3 months conclusive result

I have had all possible HIV Symptomes incl. fever and all my test comes out negativ!!!
After 5 weeks, at 7 weeks, at 8 weeks and at 12 weeks and 2 days!
You can see that Symptomes are saying nothing....try to relax a bit!!!

Also, I remembered this saying, Teak.  I think you'll enjoy it.  

He who has himself as a physician, has a fool for a patient.  Something like that.

The only way its going to be over is when you collect your test result.At 6 weeks you can obtain a highly reliable and almost 99% conclusive result.All the best.

Doc says it is Black Hairy Tongue.  I wish this was over.

Unless your were diagnosed by a doctor or dentist you don't know if you have thrush or not. Thrush is not HIV specific.
