Is this an HIV symptom?

Question

i've been getting this each on my arms, legs and p***s.. i'm thinking it might be a rash.. i've also had diarrhea for about 10 days now.

I have had unprotected oral s*x and im really afraid to get myself checked. does what i have sound worrying?

Answer 1

Not necessarily oral s*x is one of the lowest from of HIV transmission. The diarrhea could be from stress and worrying to much- for peace of mind go get a HIV test.

Answer 2

Your risk is very low. Oral s*x carries a theoretical risk for HIV transmission. The risk is something around 1 to 10000. Some experts even believe that it is not a way of transmission. In any case, the risk is very low. Very low to bother yourself over this incident.

The second thing I want to say is that symptoms are usually not indicator for HIV infection. Most people do not even have symptoms when they are infected and people who think they have HIV and they have all the possible symptoms, tested negative. So to summarize, symptoms mean nothing. They could be related to other medical conditions or due to stress and anxiety.

So relax, I would not be worried. But it seems that you are stressed over this incident. Go and get tested 6-8 weeks after your possible exposure (very low risk exposure). Most people generate antibodies by this time. Then confirm it with a 3 months test to get your conclusive result. Expect a negative result and then move on with your life. Remember to use protection when you do not know the status of your partner.

Answer 3

Um... What have you been getting on your arms, legs, and p***s? I don't get it?

Do you know what is worse than being afraid to test for HIV? Having it and spreading it to innocent people. Go get checked, believe me, it will give you peace of mind.

Answer 4

It sounds more like a different type of virus.  I doubt it's HIV. A lot of people get rashes when their sick...I do.

Answer 5

This doesn't sound like a normal sign of HIV, but I'm not saying that it isn't. You need to get tested to be sure.  This does sound more like an allergic reaction to a new soap or detergent, or a stress related break out of hives maybe. Get checked out by a doctor to ease your mind.

Answer 6

I really doubt that you have HIV..unprotected oral isn't the easiest way to catch such a delicate virus
