This regarding the closed 2182 thread. I do not mean to take advantage of your kindness. I do not mean to question or challenge your expert opinion which I value greatly. I'm just in a very bad position. My reported super high sexual exposure likely involved being injected with contaminated blood while I was unconscious which adds another dimension. I completed 1 month of PEP initiated 48 hrs post exposure and I had a sigh of relief with the negative 3 month-post exposure gum swab test. It is now almost 7 months post exposure. I wanted to forget about everything, but things are not going well. I'm experiencing unusual things as already described. I feel tired. I have lost weight. I have never had any problems with sun exposure, but I recently had hyperpigmentation with scaling, bumps suggestive of photodermatitis in my sun-exposed left arm; the hyperpigmentation is not clearing up. I'm experiencing new eczema in my fingers. If the negative 3-month gum swab test is still felt to have been quite reliable, I may still have a chance but otherwise I'm doomed.
