Hi doctors I was still very worried about this as I seriously try to rethink and think to myself if I had been penetrated it’s really disturbing me now. I have realised I have a rash on the side of my feet. Also I have very itchy skin at the top of my feet and also around my ankles I’m getting so worried about this I just wanted to know if that could be a sign of something to worry about. I have also gone back to having unprotected sex with wife but this has really been playing on my mind since I woke up this morning. I also got tested yesterday for the second time with hiv pcr qualitative test it came back negative what are the chances of being hiv positive with a negative test I’m so distraught at the moment and really need to put a closure to this. 

With apology, there is nothing more this forum can do for you. It is not our responsibility to resolve your completely irrational fears. All we and do is provide reasoned, science-based facts and probabilities, and our clinical judgment as experts with several decades of experience. There are many possible causes of the symptoms you describe, and both the zero risk of the massage and your negative HIV test results prove HIV is not the cause. ---

Honestly I can’t thank this service enough. By reading your comments daily it has helped my anxiety subside. I am very grateful for all you do. I just wanted to ask you a final question I took 2 test one on 10 day post exposure and one 16/17 post exposure which were both hiv pcr qualitative tests mainly looking for hiv 1 I assume but what about the hiv 2 part of the test just a little curious about this then I can finally stop thinking about it altogether. Also would you say a hiv pcr qualitative test at 10 and 16 days post exposure and a hiv ab/ag test at 21 days post exposure that all came back negative would be full proof of not being infected Evan if penetration occurred? Or would that be to early to tell my final questions all my anxiety has gone away now and I just had to get your experts advise on this and move on from this. Thank you very much 

Yes:  with those test results you "can finally stop thinking about it altogether." And yes, I also agree with "...a hiv pcr qualitative test at 10 and 16 days post exposure and a hiv ab/ag test at 21 days post exposure that all came back negative would be full proof of not being infected Evan if penetration occurred?"---

Thank you for your response I know this is my final message to you guys but all I want to say is I have a rash all over my arms and my legs could this be anything of concern I am so worried about it I can’t explain I know you said anxiety is altering my judgement but how can anxiety alter it when I have there physical symptoms headaches and rash on my legs and arms I don’t know what to say but I am in a very dark place and want to snap out of it please could you tell me how much of a probability of my situation having 3 test coming back negative but then feeling all these symptoms especially on my arms and legs and a headache to go with it the rash is Palpus one with scattered all over my arms I’m so scared and living in fear please could you tell me when will be the last time I need to test and put this behind me 

ARS does not cause such a rash. See a doctor to learn the cause, but ARS would NEVER have rash as the only or main symptoms. And it is not possible to have negative HIV test results in the presence of HIV symptoms.---
