Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had sexual intercourse 3 weeks back.after 2 weeks i had a rash on the upper side of cuff muscle on my right leg.i had protected sex.i was frightened.No other symptoms were there.No lymph node enlargement or whatever.So i did Vdrl,HbsAg and Tpha.All were negetive and vdrl terst were non reactive.Now is there any chance i have Hiv?
HIV doesnot manifest this way with rash and so early.Less chances of HIV if you had properly wore condom throughout the act.If at all you have doubt,you can test for HIV antibodies after 3 months of this sexual intercourse as tests may be false negative now. For the rash,you may take anti histaminics like oral cetrizine once a day for 3 days.Also you can apply hydrocortisone ointment at the area for 3 days. If symptoms donot improve within 3 days,you may consult physician.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask any more doubt.
