Am I infected with HIV?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm 45 years old male. I got an injection for small throat problem ten weeks back. In the third week after that I got intermittent slight raise in body temperature especially in the evenings for four days. On 24th day I noticed a small pea nut sized round pimple like thing on my penile ring.(no itch, no pain, same color like penis head, no puss). It became small to a pepper size within a day and vanished in one week. I took Oflaxacin+Oridazole tablets and Pantaprazole40mg tablets for this. During the sixth week I got very much anxious and sleepless and got fatigue in day time especially after lunch and evenings.. On 42nd day I noticed some rashes about 10 nos at the center of my chest (no itch, no pain, pink to red in color, barely or slightly raised and having one peaked pimple on each. They vanished in three days. I doubt the rashes might be present earlier as I couldn't notice due to the hairs in my chest. Are the above indicate symptoms of HIV ARS? (I ask this because I doubt the use unclean syringe during my injection)

You wouldn't have had a contaminated needle injected in you. This cannot happen in any medical setting in the civilized world. Used needles are Inserted in bio hazard bins always. The packaging also makes them single use. .. Lastly you are not describing ARS symptoms . These are normal occurrences amplified by anxiety

HIV may not give any symptoms in a healthy adult for years or decades if the person is healthy.

Let's assume the needle was used... ( which its likely it was not) then the answer still remains no. As Dave told you HIV is inactivated by air, simply put it can't survive in inanimate objects like needles. The fresh blood wouldn't be there. Your rash could be many things that a dermatologist can help you with . Since your not sexually active you can rule out Sti

If you've got rashes and things happening down there go to a sexual health clinic, the records are seperate from your general health records and they will be the best people to advise including an HIV test if you want to be sure as well as treating warts and making sure it's nothing else
