symptoms

What does an hiv rash look like? I have something under my eye that is developing. It kind of looks like a pimple, but it's not one. It itches and it's a little red. I also think it's scabbing over. Also, I'm just now getting over a bad cold that I had for 4 weeks. Sinus pressure, nasal congestion, fever, headachesn etc. I took antibitiotics and it just went away. I think I got my mom suck from it, too.  She had the same symtpoms for the same amount of time. ARS is not contagious like the common cold/flu, right?

If your condom would have failed you would have known with the lights out and your eyes closed.

I was just concerned because I've never been sick for that long with all those symptoms.

I've always worn condoms for anal sex. I took an HIV test in mid january and it was neg. The thing is I don't recall ever feeling a condom break. I usually have sex in the dark/dim lighting and I've never been able to see if a condom broke or not, though I don't believe I've ever felt a tear. Then again I don't know because I don't know what its supposed to feel like. I'm assuming I didn't have ARS symptoms since my Ma got sick as well with the same symtpoms for the same amount of duration.  Thank you for your response.

That is not an ARS rash. Now did you have an exposure?
