is it rash or Pimples?

hello
i would like to ask the knowledgeble people here that ... if sum1 goes thru ARS...then can ARS come at week 6 or so?how long does it last??
If ARS come at 5-6 weeks and a person tests negative at 7 weeks despite of symptoms...then does it mean that the symptoms are not related to hiv?
I have take a snap of my face (my right cheek)
i have these pimple like structures on my right cheek only..
can it be rash?does it look like rash?
pls see the link
THANK YOU

hi lizzie

in dec i had oral sex with a massage girl...she gave me oral sex i did not perform anything... anyways thts a different story as i have been tested after that and it was negative...
this is is with a good friend... we happened to get emotionally close and just somehow ended having unproteced sex.... it  wasnt planned etc....
for my comfort she tested twice as i said and it was negative...i got relieved to an extent but then i too had a test at 7 weeks post exposure..
it was negative.
i plan to take a 10 week test too..which is arnd 12 days far..
as i have learnt from this forum tht NO one has seen a 6 week negative turn positive later on...even doctor here confirms it.... even the MASS Aus confirmed it....infact the MASS consider a 6 week negative conclusive.
just for the peace of mind i will take a 10 week test and hope i dunt panic after or before that...
pls pray for me guys...pls
thank you stay safe and always!!

the first time you posted was december 2007, and you're still having unprotected sex?  keep it up and you WILL get infected!!!!

it is highly unlikely that your 7 week test will change...but according to guidelines...a test at 3 months is conclusive.

U mean to day i am in a no risk situation?as i said....i had unproteced sex with a female fnd and i asked her to test and even went with her at the lab(she tested twice one was arnd 5 days after we had sex and 2nd was after 3 weeks after we had sex) both were negative....i have seen the report and went to collect the report myself....

she also assured me and assures me again that she is negative ...and not to worry,,,,

i tested at 7 weeks post exposure.,,..it was negative...  i called the MASS hotline in AUS and they said any test after a 6 week exposure is conclusive except in conditions whn sum1 is going under cancer treatment etc,,,

pls advice as per my post above.(symptoms and timing)
