Risk Assessment

I am a married male who gave protected oral to another married man and received ejaculate on my chest. The condom was intact throughout the oral and I had no cuts or abrasions on my chest. Two weeks later, I experienced a fever, diarrhea and an itchy skin rash just above my ankles. I had been walking a lot on vacation so the rash could have been heat related. The rash disappeared in a little over a week and the fever only last for 2 days. I am concerned that this may be ARS related but did not experience a sore throat or swolen lymph nodes. Should I be concerned this is ARS and does my exposure warrant testing?

Ejaculate on skin is not a risk either, even with cuts.

You were not exposed to HIV. Oral sex is not a risk even if it is unprotected. Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV and you don't need testing. Forget about this, there is nothing to be concerned about regarding HIV.
