Swollen glands and rash on forehead
Hi,
Can anyone give me some advice?
I had a high risk exposure in May this year. I took PEP and had a test 3 months after finishing the PEP which was negative. After 2 weeks on PEP all my glands swelled up. They are still swollen and I now have a acne type rash on my face and red like sunburn around my neck. I have not had acne since I was 17 years old. I have diahorrea. It is now 5 months since the high risk exposure.
Could this be ARS now? I have seen other posts which say that PEP does not affect the antibodys produced but surely it would if the viral load was reduced significantly?
Thanks

Hi Teak,
Why do you say it has nothing to do with HIV? PEP can delay seroconversion.
