Do i have hiv?

Okay so my boyfriend and i started dating around the beginning of december and the first time we had sex we used a condom. He however convinced me to have sex with him without a condom shortly after we started dating but he would pull out before. In january since i have been taking birth control he didnt pull out and came inside of me. I had asked him the first time we had sex if he was clean and he said yes. Later I found out he's never been tested but his g/f he had for a year before me had and she was negative for everything and he says he wasnt with anybody after her. However in February about the 10th or 11th i developed a rash underneath my arms and about a week later little blisters all over my palms and fingers the blisters on my fingers and palms lasted about 3 weeks but the underarm rash persisted. The underarm rash started to go away a little bit but then about a week ago the underarm rash got worse again and the blisters came back on my palms and fingers. I got sick for 2 weeks towards the end of february and beginning of march too. Sore throat, headache, body aches. Could I have HIV? I was tested feb. 19 and the results were negative but i know that i may have not seroconverted yet? HELP PLEASE IM SCARED!!!

The biggest sign of ARS is fever, the 90% of the ppl who has ARS, they experienced fever for many days.... Try to get test in the 4th week just for peace of mind... Also it's "almost" impossible to contract hiv for one unprotect intercourse.

Ok so u got test @ about 6 weeks and got negative results, so this is a good indictor that u don't have HIV, but u need to test again at 3 month post exposure to be 100% sure. Have u also gotten tested for other STDs as well?

they said it need 6 weeks to have a reliable test (98%) and 3 months to have a test 100% accurate, I already did a quick test today after 4 weeks of exposure and in the clinic they ask me to return back again after one month....

don't think that the sore throat is an indication to be hiv possitive...just do the test again after 3 months and you will be ok.

Test 3 months after you last unprotected encounter for a conclusive result. Also for confidence have your BF test.
