HIV high risk contact looking for answers.
Hi there. I'm a 24 year old male who about 20 days ago came into a high contact risk person. They told me they were clean and me being as drunk as I was proceeded with anal sex as the Pitcher not the catcher.. I know tops run lower risks but the chances are still high if he indeed was infected correct? Now i've always suffered from anxiety and have gone to the hospital thinking I was going to have a heart attack just to be told everything is fine. I haven't had to many symptoms just a very small rash on left crease between my elbow, constant fatigue shortness of breath and all though I've always had a cough I feel like this one is different. Now I don't know if it's just my mind but I have been feeling mildly itchy all over my chest shoulders stomach and face(which scares me) I few more pimples coming in including one on top of my right shoulder and iI've never had anything there before. I don't have a fever or sore throat but contantly feel like that day right before I get the flu. I'm highly worried and I know I need to get tested. I went to a clinic and did a Rapid Oral testing and came up negative 2 days ago but even the man doing the testing said I was not in the window time period and for me to go back. I was just curious what anyone thought and maybe have had some relatable symptoms. I know my mind is capable of making me feel itchy even though I reallt have no rash. Just a little dry skin as we're going from dinner into spring. Thanks for taking your time to read this and have a great day.
I've been trying to find a place that does those testings. Thank you guys so much for taking your time to respond to my post.
Yea I know I need to get tested again. What's DUO? I'm a go get tested for other STDs today as well. I'm pretty sure some other ones cause itchy skin.
No. Unprotected sexy. I know I ran the risk... I'm just curious if there are cases of just itchy skin as a symptom.
