You are safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello. thank you for writing to us.

I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
A condom protected sex is safe as far as the risk of transmission of HIV is concerned. Moreover a negative result of HIV Ag/ Ab screening test is quite reliable at 3 weeks post risk exposure.

Brief Answer:
Regarding your specific complaints related to palms

Detailed Answer:
Thank you. I have viewed the image.

No. Sweaty palms could simply be because of anxiety. The spots are pretty normal - may be a slight rash (hives) due to a viral flu or a drug allergy. I suggest you to take a tab.cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening for 5 days.
