[Question #10325] Concerns Regarding Recent Exposure and Symptoms
23 months ago
|
Hello Doctor, I'm reaching out regarding a
potential exposure incident that occurred on August 17th, 2023. During a
massage session, there was full body-to-body contact with a ukranian escort, including
genital rubbing with possible contact with vaginal fluid. Notably, there was no
penetration. I had several existing pimples, acne, and zits on my genital area
due to recent shaving and folliculitis. Following the encounter, I observed that the escort had
a full body rash which i didnt notice initially as the room was dark. Approximately a week later, I began developing unfamiliar
symptoms, characterized by randomly appearing red raised rashes across my body
(chest, back, legs, arms), which would subside in 2-3 days. I also experienced
extreme folliculitis in unusual areas like my nose and chest, as well as
persistent lower back pain that hasn't responded well to physiotherapy. I took
a 4th generation HIV test at 27 days post-exposure, yielding a negative result. today at 37 days post-exposure, I'm contemplating a complete STD panel. Could you
advise if this panel would effectively eliminate the possibility of STIs such
as HIV or syphilis as the cause of my symptoms, or if it's too early for
conclusive results? I'm eager to understand the correlation between my
symptoms, the exposure, and potential STIs. Your insights would greatly assist
my understanding of the situation
