Question : Hello. I have been suffering from lots of symtomps although all symtoms are not very much severe. I was involved in anal foreplay and my partner used saliva as a lubricant. He did only fingering for few minutes. And nothing else also we were involved in mutual masturbation. After almost 2 weeks I suffered from cough and common cold with slight pain in chest. Also muscle pain and numbness in hands and feet. Sometimes during any point of time in day. I was feeling very much dizzy and weak also I noticed cold palms I was waiting for 3 months becoz I read hiv test shows correct result only after 3 months. Its been two months now. Now I m not having any symptoms but I m having lots of pimples on forehead. What should I do are all these symptoms related to hiv ars??? Please guide

Hi
Thank you for query.I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
As per your history there is not much contact between 2 partners.and the mode described has less chances of HIV transmission. Moreover the partner status is unknown it may be negative also.
You can go for HIV RNA PCR test or the combo test at this stage to know the HIV status if you are anxious.
You can get it done in any accredited laboratory.
The symptoms are all non specific and are not related to HIV.
You can get back for any clarification
Thank you
