Where in FL? I live in Miami myself. HIV tests are offered at county public health department clinics, HIV outreach centers, etc. Try www.hivtest.org or perform a search for "hiv testing sites" in your city of interest...
do you know anything about the testing places i should look for when i get back to the US (Florida)?
fever usualy 100+ for HIV symptom, relax
also, what should i look for in a testing center? SHould I be anonymous? What are the names of them? Do major universities usually have them for students? I can´t even describe how anxious and nervous I am right now. I can´t imagine waiting for so long. It would be fine, but I keep on getting more symptoms.
Well my worry went away, but today I just started to get diahrrea, and my temperature is 98.6, when it´s usually 97.7.
I don´t think my rash due to a hot shower, since they only have cold showers where I am living right now. This whole ordeal would be way better if I were in civilization, I´m so isolated here. It´s horrible. Thanks for the help.
I bet your rash was due to a HOT shower. Really, taking a hot shower will release histamines and cause a rash that itches. It usually is around your ankels and on the arms. I seem to get them on occasion. It has NOTHING to due with HIV. I bet you are fine
Thanks for the information! I will take the test as soon as I get back to the US. I am on the most remote island of the Canary Islands right now, (pop. 10,000) so I´d be lucky if they even had a decent hospital. Does rapid testing require a 3 month wait as well?
Receiving head is essentially NO risk for HIV. Your exposure would be unprotected receptive anal sex BUT the fact it was for such a brief amount of time makes it very unlikely for infection.
Conclusive testing is recommended at 3 mos after exposure (12/13 wks, 90 days). 6 wks is a good indicator. You don't specify what country you are in, but you may want to inquire if rapid testing is available (20 min result). If not, you can have your blood drawn and tested via ELISA and have your results within a week but can take longer depending on the lab. As for your symptoms, the ARS rash usually occurs on the trunk of your body, not on your elbows, knees, or ankles and does not itch. Based on your exposure, I would say to expect a NEG result! Good luck!
