You said you had blood tests done? Were they HIV specific tests?...if so, were they done 12 weeks post exposure?

I passed all the blood tests. Also, why wouldn't Dr. Suggest?

Only an HIV test is going to provide you with an answer not symptoms so just test at the correct time and be done with it.

Why do I say what? Picture? Because what is that going to tell us?
Or why do I say symptoms are not of HIV? Because they are not HIV symptoms.

What would you post a picture of? No reason to because whatever you post is meaningless.

Yes you had a risk, symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.

Also a white hetero male, and from what I understand that makes it difficult to acquire the disease.

Take an HIV test at 3 months post--exposure and collect your result--all the best.
