No risk?
Hi,
I had a whirlwind of a week. Hoping that I am okay. As an aside I am getting tested tomorrow (8/8).
On 7/17, I received unprotected oral and deep kissing from a csw.
On 7/18, I performed unprotected analingus on a csw.
On 7/23, I received protected oral and had protected sex with a csw. I performed unprotected oral on her.
From 7/30 to 8/6 I experienced symptoms: fatigue, cough, and congestion, brief sore throat. No fever. I would write these off, but around 8/3 I developed and still have a rash. It appears in small spots on my trunk, a few places on the arms and shoulders, and back. No face or hand. It’s red and raised. This is really got me concerned. Hoping for some thoughts. I know it’s crazy to post this and get tested the next day, but the rash is really concerning. Thanks

Nothing on any of the dates you tell us about is a risk for HIV transmission. HIV is only transmitted by having unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. So, NOTHING you describe is actually a risk. Whatever symptoms you think you are having, it is not from HIV. No risk
