exposure and symptoms

peace and blessings


apologieses for my english i know it sux

3 weeks back i had unsafe sex with a girl just vaginal only once and i dont know her back ground..then after 2 weeks i had a hiv antibody test which was negative,,just the next day my the sides (area close to armpits) of chest started itching and had lil red marks as if i was scratched by someone i immidiately went and had a shower with warm water and i was shocked to see my chest turning all red and i scratched it like crazy....my chest returned back to normal except for a few marks on the sides it itcches whenever i sweat and then when i am feeling cold it gets normal..

i have a sore throat because recently i came out of the shower warm water and had very chilled ineapple juice with ice since then i feel lil bit of pain in my throat but i have no prob in eating or drinking or shouting


no fever no joint pains no feeling lazy but today the begining of the 3 rd week my face started to itch and my cheek and chin got soo red after lil itching and after sitting in the aircon for a few mins it became normal no more itch even on touching but sometimes i get some rash like musquito bites on my hand i have 1 on my right and 2 on my left..

the place i work  is very dirty hot and unhygenic....

sometimes i take hot shower and sometiimes cold sometimes 3 times day or 2 times a day in which one time will be with cold water the other with hot water so u can guess how i feel..i sweat a lot during the day time while working and night time i feel cold no sweat at all

my penis is ok no pain in there or no rashes i am circumsized and this was my first unsafe vaginal encounter in my whole life before i had many using condoms and i had a hiv text done back in june which is 2 1/2 months from now....


1. am i getting infected slowly by hiv?
2 are my rashes or itching signs of getting infected
3 how many weeks do i have to wait more to get another test done?
4 does it itch like this in pre hiv infection? anywhere on the body for a sec then nothing?


thanks in advance for the help and support and creating such a helpful website

My Friend,
If you explain to me your nick, as far as i know from your post you're not good in english.
This word "Zaber", means in arabic a person who did a very stupid thing and deserve to be called "****".
I hope you can give another explanation, But what you did is what every man in the world is tempted to do it. You are just a man, man makes mistakes in life.

You've been told several times. Do Not rely on symptoms. HIV has no specific symptoms and not all people that get infected have symptoms at all.

1) No a test will prove that
2) No
3) 84 to 90 days is conclusive for testing
4) No
Anxiety is more than likely your problem
