rash 33 days after possible exposure...

i had a protected exposure exactly 33 days from now,i had a sore throat and 99.8 fever,now their is no sore throat and no fever....my question is that i never had temperature above 100 farenheit,or other symptoms associated with ars except a sore throat with yellow mucus....is it possible for ars rash to appear 33 days after exposure and secondly if i don't have fever or sore throat right now and just rash on my chest and shoulders does that happen or ars rash always has fever and sore throat with it? i had 99.6-99.8 farenheit fever and sore throat before....and fianlly i drank alot of alcohol last night,could it be that due to that and heat that the rash has appeared....thanks

Your fever is not indacating HIV,  ARS symptoms come on all at once not 1 one day and the others later etc.

You would have known if your condom was OFF the head of your penis

Our answers still stay the same NO RISK

The CDC says it is RARE for ARS to appear at 6 weeks... it also states 2 to 4 weeks is the norm... which is what Nick already told you.

No disrespect to NickOne7...but i was looking for more opinion from other experienced members like Teak and Lizzie Lou....NickOne7 said " Your symptoms are not Due to ARS - ARS symptoms start 14-28 days after an exposure  and last 7-14 days. ARS temp is not a slow moving upward fever it comes on full board and lasts until it is gone. Your fever is not related "
My fever is at 100.2 farenheit,saw various posts,ars fever is more than 101 farenheit...secondly my rash occured at 33 days after exposure,nick said ars symptoms appear max 28 days after exposure but i have seen replies by members who say that ars can come at 5 to 6 weeks aswell.....
just looking for a final opinion,correct me if im wrong above...thanks

condom could have slipped?  as long as the head of your penis was covered, you were protected.

i was drunk,i don't really remember 100 percent....the condom couldve slipped aswell....based on the symptoms ive described above in the first message what do u analyze....the rash and the fever below 100 farenheit....and no sore throat....
i was also hoping to hear from other experienced forum members other than u like lizzie lou,teak and avonelle...u along with them are the most experienced members as shown on the bar on the right.....thanks

Protected sex means you were never at risk for HIV, therefore the symptoms you describe have nothing to do with HIV.
