What Causes Recurrent Rashes On Leg And Knee Post Unprotected Sex?
I have herpes and have developed a blistering rash on my leg, near the knee, in the last few weeks. When one goes away, another pops up. I also had unprotected sex with a woman about 6 weeks ago. I m terrified of being HIV positive. I don t know her HIV status. I ve had insertive anal sex with men 3 times in my life but used condoms every time. Those encounters were more than a year ago. I m just worried that the rash is more than just herpes and HIV related. Any reason for concern?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the rash that you are having could be due to allergic condition and it may not be due to any viral related disease unless it is being proved clinically and this needs several investigations but for sure this is not the HIV or any viral disease hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
