Dear Mr XXXXXXX

A negative test after the serological window period of 12 weeks certainly rules HIV infection. The cause of your symptoms is definitely not HIV .
It would be very helpful if you could send the clinical picture of rash and penile ulcer for further assessment. Kindly also let me know your present health status and symptoms.

Awaiting your response

Take care

The rash and ulcer came two weeks after my sexual incounter and disappeared aproximately 2 weeks after. My current status is slight blurry vision, eye sensitivity to light, swollen lymph behind left ear and under left jaw. All blood test show excellent health condition. What could be the cause of this. All other symptoms subsided as months past. But these continue

Symptoms unrelated to exposure

Hi

Isolated enlargement of only neck lymph node which are smaller than 2 cm , non tender and freely XXXXXXX is not significant. There is no reason to be worried about. If you have already undergone opthalmic assessment and everything is fine then there is no cause for concern.

Put back the past incident and move ahead. Definitely no relationship to your present symptoms.

Infectious Mononucleosis could be one of the possibility. The infection is self limiting and not serious. Clinical assessment by your Physician will be more reassuring.
