Pruritus behaviour..as hiv symptoms..

I have read following in which they mention Pruritus can be one of the symptoms but it's very mild..

I have Pruritus since yesterday and my results will be out on tuesday...I don't know but my pruritus is just for 1 mins..If I scratch them once..they will go off...and I don't see anything there where I am getting this...

is it because of I am tensed ...since last 2 days for my results..or can be one of the symptoms..

anyone plesase advise..

thanks,
Jatin

So..do you mean...Pruritus is usually  not shown on early HIV infection...!!

I have question about my sex experience again..!!

(1) She was a sex worker from Las Vegas and she applied only lotion on my penis..I don't remember that we used condom. ... She pulled my penis's head skin..and applied lotion.. I got some pain when she pull my skin..and then we had viginal sex..Actually I had 2-3 Protected  sex encounter before I had this unprotected sex..!

does..pulling skin on penis would get more chances of having HIV infection ?? I know most of the sex workers are using condoms..but I am now wondering why didn't she used it..and I was not in condition to think this at the time..that is my fault..

It had encounted before 37-39 days..and I don't have any smptoms except this pruritus coming on my skin..since last 1-2 days...!! I am too much in tension..so they said it could be skin reaction too..!!   I consulted one of the stress/tension consultant and he said..that may be I started feeling this itching feeling since I had gone to HIV tests...

I am not seeing any red mark..it's just itching ..sometimes..and not even all the times..

I am getting tensed..

(1) .I want to know what are my chances of getting infacted..!!

(2) what's the % number of people showing symptoms ..or showing test positive within 1st month ?? is this ratio very high or very low..??

(3) If I have upcoming test negative..can I consider retest in 1 month again ?


what are my chances in this case..Please help...!!
