Question

This is my story. I had unprotected anal sex about 3 months ago. i asked the guy if he was clean and he said yes. i had asked him multiple times then he finally told me to leave him alone. I have never had a fever or felt any of the symptoms liste for hiv. no mucsle pain, depression, head aches, diaharia, just this damn rash and only had a small cold. I have this rash on my foot though that has been there for almost 2 months. Im not sure if its athletes foot or an hiv rash.. Im scared to death.

tomMulligan · Answer

You never had any exposure so you don't need for any HIV tests.

Tom,

wat wud be the status for 7th week Test result......is it going to change probably after 12 week ??? wat % is it likely to b stable with 7th week result

tomMulligan · Answer

unprotected is unprotected. YOu need to take the 6-8 week test for great indication of your status. Then Follow-up at 12 weeks for conclusive result.  If ever you develop HIV symptoms / ARS it will come all together at once and will be gone in a week or two weeks not in months. Please stop diagnosing yourself it wont help. Get your test at 6-8 weeks post exposure and follow-up at 12 week.

so you'd rather not know and die ALOT sooner than you would if you knew and were on meds?  NOT SMART ! !

the ONLY way to know one's status is by testing.  3 months post exposure for a conclusive result
