[Question #3263] Another Unprotected Oral Sex Question
89 months ago
|
December 29th: Received brief unprotected oral
sex (blowjob) from massage lady. It was less than 5 seconds, very brief
exposure.
2 Days After exposure: Itchy rash side of neck and upper
chest.
4 Days After exposure: Went to urgent care for rash and
diagnosed with contact dermatitis. Got steroid shot for the rash.
7 Days After exposure: Fever (high grade), chills, one minor
tongue ulcer, headache when looking down, cough, runny nose, green phlegm from
mouth and fatigue. Felt like staying in bed all day long.
8 Days After exposure: same symptoms as listed in the above
line.
9 Days after exposure: Low grade fever, loose stool (diarrhea),
nagging cough got worse with more green phlegm, chills continued but started
feeling better.
10 Days after exposure: Felt much better but still low-grade
fever. Chills went away. However, the nagging cough was still there with green
phlegm. Doctor said it’s common cold and gave me OTC to loosen the mucus. No
need for chest X-rays.
11 to 15 days after exposure: Felt normal but cough was
still there. No green phlegm but overall coughing. I did get one more tongue ulcer
after 15 days. I must admit I was over stressing with ARS thoughts that must
have triggered ulcer on the tongue.
21 days after exposure: Bought Oralquick at home oral swap
HIV test from Walgreens and tested negative.
As of this writing (26 days post exposure), I’m still
coughing little bit especially after sipping glass of wine.
Questions:
1)
These symptoms sound like ARS at all?
2)
How accurate is at home OraQuick oral swap test
at 21 days? I’ve read on your medhelp posts that HIV test would be positive 1
week after ARS symptoms.
3)
Is there any need for future HIV tests?
