Im afraid ive contracted hiv from one night stand it was receptive vaginal sex, unprotected lasted about 10 min sexual partner status unknown. Having symptoms 6 weeks later, painful rash inbetween my vagina and butt, couple days later was fatigued, along with flushed feeling. A week later developed muscle weakness that has gotten worse now its week 10 my muscles feel over worked and i havent done anything . I have had trembling hands idk if my lymph nodes are swollen. Tested at 6, 7, and 10 weeks with oraquick oral fluid tests all negative. Took ELSIA blood test yesterday waiting results, my anxiety is through the roof. Had a little sore throat. What is my risk of contracting HIV from one night stand with no ejactulation. And if im having symptoms related to hiv would i have tested positive on the rapid tests i took. I just want to live a long healthy life with my son. Im so scared. Also significant pain in hands.

Bare with me guys, I'm extremely nervous about contracting this illness. I want to go into a little bit more detail about my situation and any feedback I can get would be greatly appreciated. I have a few questions.



1. Does rash associated with ARS(seroconversion) present its self on the genitals as the initial symptom.

2. Does ARS start out mild and get worse as the weeks pass.

3. Is a home rapid oral test definitive at 6,7 and 10 weeks (negative)

4. Is there still a risk of contracting HIV from pre-ejactulate fluid.

5. Is skin sensitivity a sign of an HIV infection that was recently contracted.

Im also having vision issues seeing glittery spots occasionally, i feel like all my senses are heightened.

And my muscle weakness started 5 weeks ago and is getting worse.

One last thing does ARS rash last as long as 4 weeks.

I apologize for the long post im just extremely nervous about this.

I have been praying for forgiveness.

Answers would be much appreciated

Those aren't really symptoms of HIV. You should do an initial test with in 12 weeks of being exposed to HIV then repeat ONE of the tests for HIV in 3-6 months, if your test is negative after that then you most likely don't have HIV.

These are HIV symptoms:

Rapid weight loss.

Recurring fever or profuse night sweats.

Extreme and unexplained tiredness.

Prolonged swelling of the lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck.

Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week.

If you have any of those symptoms then you may have HIV.

It could be thrush, herpes, or possibly syphilis or maybe a bacterial infection. You should see a doctor and have a full std screening done, also ask them to test you for HIV to be sure if it's HIV or not.

Even if you have HIV you can still have a long life if you get proper treatment and take care of your self.

Dont listen to lindsey you dont need to test up to 6 months, 3 months is more than conclusive. At 10 weeks 98% of people wouldve tested back positive if they were so if it comes back negative then you breathe a sigh of relief that you dont have it. Its good that t was a one night stand so your chances of getting it are like 1 in 500 and thatsif he did actually have hiv. So the odds should be in your favor, keep us updates on status
