Super scared

Dear Doctor ,

I had two unprotected intercourse in April with two different women.
I'm a 28 year old boy who live in UK.
And the two girls were from France.
On the 12th of April and 20th of April.
On 21st of April I started to had a sore throat who lasted couple of days. I also noticed some withe thin lines on the side of my tongue that I still have from time to time. On third of may I had a rash, tinny tinny spots on my hands and lower part of the legs. 19th of may I went for a rapid Antibodies test that came back negative.
26th of may " 5 weeks after the last event" I went for a duo test that also came back negative.
Im still scared and still do not want to have sex with my partner. Do I need further testing?
I am super stressed everyday and can not focus on my work, Im spending all my time on your forum.

Thank you

I meant the insti that you did after 3 months. Generally only antibody test is done after 3 months of exposure to be conclusive. Anyways you are safe this time.

In the 3 months insti, the antibody test would play the role. You dont have an HIV concern.USE CONDOMS ALWAYS and consistently for penetrative sex.

Then you don't have HIV. Your symptoms are not related. Consult your health care provider.

Just take a test at 3 months which is the standard conclusive test. Your DUO at 5 weeks is very encouraging.
