Hi,

Please help this is so much torment why can't there been an instant yes or no test for HIV!! about 7 1/2 weeks ago I had unprotected sex with someone in America who turned out to be a sex worker! I don't know why I did it and haven't got a clue why I didn't at least use a condom but now I am playing mind games with myself over and over. I am googling and googling and with what i find calms me down then upsets me again as it seems to be impossible to find an answer. No one seems to have gone through the collection of events that I have.

I went to the clinic on Monday and had a swob test, a blood test and provided a urine sample and they came back with a instant NUS and gave me some Azithromycin. I have taken that as proscribed as one dose and now I have seen a rash on the palm of my hands and on and under my feet which resembles white looking blisters under the skin which are not raised or itchy. I have also developed allot of spots on my chest and face and a few single spots around hair follicles else where on my body.  Could this rash be linked to the antibiotics as they have only just started since then. It is now wednesday and the spots come and go with new ones appearing and now I have the rash across my stomach and chest but it is really faint, it is still in my hands and on and under my feet.  I keep reading about the ARS symptoms but they are so broad that anybody could relate anything back to them. My girlfriend had a week or two where she was so tired that she would literally fall asleep everytime she sat down at around 3 - 4 weeks after I would had exposed her to my possible infection.  Neither of us have developed any of the fevers, or sore throats, swollen glands or rash that resembles the images or descriptions which come up on google although I have been sweating more recently but could this be down to the NUS infection?

Can anyone suggest what this rash is as I keep telling myself that its probably to late for the ARS rash and it is the Azithromycin working as I never noticed it before i took it a few hours before............ I am going out of my mind and my Girlfriend will not go and get tested until I have had my results back which is putting extra strain on me, although she does not know I have been looking at the ARS symptoms as I do not want to worry her any more than I already have!

Please could you reply back as I am actually think that my anxiety will probable kill me before the potential virus does!!!

Thanks

ever thought about calling your dr about the azithromycin rash?

[Scared4mylife82]

All I keep thinking about is whether the antibiotics have brought it out and I missed it originally or I just didn't get that symptom, and like i said about my GF and the extreme tiredness although she is prone to feeling unwell often but didn't experience any other symptoms......

ars rash does NOT start at 8 weeks post exposure

I know thats standard procedure but this rash thing is really freaking me out, I am past caring about myself its my GF i am scared for as I have been such an idiot and disregarded her health in a drunken state and she might have to pay for this for the rest of her shorter life!!

Have you ever heard of a reaction to Azithromycin like this and if so how would you rate my chances considering the situation i have created?

I have read about some people being cured of HIV although they had cancer and it was done through a bone marrow transplant do you know much about this?

3 months is when you can obtain a conclusive result. Test now if you want and it is a very good indication and unlikely to change.
