Need your guidance please

Hello Teak and Lizz and others,

Thank you for your support. I had an unprotected insertive oral sex performed by a sex worker (I got a BJ from a women). Based on her talks after the oral sex, I think she is HIV +.

I had 1 quick oral swap done at 5 weeks and it came back negative.

I had a Cortisone injection in my butt (triamcinolone acetonide - Kenalog) 80 MG 55 days before exposure. Dr. Hook mentioned that cortisone (systemic, which is what i had) can delay but it would have cleared the system. BUT I forgot to mention the dose to him (the normal does is 10 MG to 40MG and 80 MG is a high dosage).

Also i am not circumcised, so does that increase my risk?

At 6 and 1/2 I have some rash on both my hands, Is is ASR? can ASR be after 4 weeks.

The rash is what made me worried. I forgot to ask the effect of 80MG (instead of the normal 40 MG) and the rash to Dr. Hook and hence need your advice.

Can i relax based on my 5 week result



Thanks

Thanks, but I am just worried as Dr. hook says it is a very low risk. Also does ASR come after 6 weeks. I got a rash on both my hands.
