Easy Brusing & HIV

Sorry to bug again, I know I had a low risk sexual encounter since I used a condom. I have noticed some bruises on my legs when I wake up every morning. I don't recall ever hitting any object. I cant explain how it is I got the three bruises on my legs. I am not one to get bruises unless actually getting a serious hit. I am concerned that it is HIV. It has been 48 days since that encounter. I did show symptoms of the flu around the two weeks after the sexual encounter. I am worried. I hope there is a good explanation for the easy brusing.

sorry I just fear the worst. My girlfriend started getting white marks on her lips. Not to mention the canker sore she got. she told me she started to feel weak. she also mention that she had a heavy period which was uncommon for her. So I broke down and told her.
I fear that I have given her just that. I hope it is all a coincidence.

Alright, even though I did sleep with what looked to be a meth addicted prostitute, whom I penetrated vaginal, and anal. I did not see any rupture on the condoms even though we used one of the ones she had. before which I did have a rash on my scrotom. She seemed pretty dry. I toucher her vagina with my finger. I just can't seem to understand why I get bruises on my legs. My hands seem dry even after I use lotion I can they get dry again. I also feel pain on my hands. I get little red dots on my skin( legs, hands and arms) I had irritated gums which bleed for a while. not to mention the ARS symptoms- all from night sweats, flu, rash, weakness, disorientation. I obviously do not have HIV.

OH THERE WONT BE ANY ARGUING...FACTS ARE FACTS ! ! !

IF YOUR CONDOM DID NOT RUPTURE...YOU WERE PROTECTED.

you have been assessed as NOT having a hiv concern.  this forum has nothing left to offer.

sorry I know I get freaked out. But condoms are not all effective. I don't want to argue but I started to get loads of acne on my face. I had a canker sore right after exposure and then followed with weakness, suddenly I got the flu. I also developed some weaird blisters on my back. After the flu I just can't seem to be good with myself. I feel weak. I feel anxiety. My skin is really dry. I have lots of dandruff and not to mention the pains on my legs and hands. I want to feel good, but everytime I notice the little red marks on my skin or the bruises I feel like the HIV is spreading in my body. Trust me if I test negative 3 months from that date I will thank all of you for your advice and stop annoying all of you. I do apreciate your patience.

I have read that Dr. HHH  says that a 6-8 week test is as good as conclusive, yet I look CDC and other websites and they say 3-6 months is the only accuracy time for testing and still may be false.  sometimes takes up to a year. I hope that my 6 week results confirm my status and I will verify with the 3-month rapid oral test after that. Have patience with me. I wish you all luck and hope for the best to all.
