ars rash
I havet this itchy rash all over my face back neck chest arms . they are like raised bumps like blister that pop open with clear fluid .i went to the emergency room today and the doctor said it looked viral which scared me too death im wondering could it be ars i developed a low grade fever today which disappeared. I took a ora quick test came out negative my only risk giving unprotected oral sex with ejaculation. Dose the ars rash itch and drajn clear fluid ? And how long before the test actually show positive.
This exposure was about 4 to 5 weeks ago . i took a ora quick yesterday which came out negative.
Oral sex has zero risk. To answer your questions, ars rash from what I have read are flat & non itchy patches. If testing will make you feel better, a 4th gen ab/ag test can detect infections after 28 days, although you will need a confirmatory test in 3 months. but you don't even need it in my opinion. You should consult a doctor if the rash persists though, it could be something else, but HIV is not your concern.
