Bumps on my right leg under knee

I recently had a sexual encounter with an African csw which was protected oral and vaginal sex for about 6 minutes in total.

I had been scracthing my leg a few days before this incident (on the right side of leg). Now on the left side there are some itchy bumps - what could this be? Are these ARS symptoms or other STD symptoms?

I'm so scared now but I keep telling myself the leg was itching beforehand near that area (but not exactly there).

Please answer this - the bumps have completely gone now already? this is really worrying me now is it a sign of anything. I can't believe they have gone.

Also my flu has cleared up a lot (almost too much?) since yesterday. I went from joint ache and shivers to feeling a lot better today.

you've already discussed your hiv question in the hiv forum which is the appropriate forum for them.

no reason to think an itchy leg is std related.

we recommend protected sex and protected oral sex because it works!!

Thanks Grace, As I say they went in a matter of a couple of hours yesterday and my right leg has been itching (and still is itching) before my incident.

As for my flu it has gone from clearing up yesterday to joint pain and shivers in the night (last night) for which I took a Paracetamol. Today my sinuses are cleared up but still weak and feel "fluey". I hope this is a common flu. It came on to quickly after my incident to be ARS I have been told.

This morning as I scratch the leg I notice the bumps are actually there, they only "come out" when I itch them - could this be scabies?
