I had unprotected sex with a man for the first time on May 30th, wherein I was the vers/top. I also performed oral sex on him, he tried to penetrate me, but with not much success. I penetrated him several times over a few hours. I also performed the act of rimming for a few minutes.
He ejaculated on my abdomen, as did I (I have no wounds or the like on my abdomen). We engaged in kissing and foreplay for hours leading upto penetration. A few hours later during conversation, he tells me that he is HIV positive but undetectable and has been on Atripla for two years. I was tested a few days later, which of course was negative.
On Thursday of this week, June 9th, I developed a small pimple like rash on my pecs and shoulders. However, I also used a different soap on Thursday morning at the gym. I am hypersensitive to soap. I often get folliculitis, and this is the type of rash that I have. This rash itches mildly; almost a warm itch.
I must note that two days later, I had swollen glands and was diagnosed with strep throat, wherein I was put on a Z-pack. I currently do not have a fever, diarrhea, night sweats, or swollen glands. I actually feel fine, minus the rash and worry.
I guess my fear is this; being that there was semen present and he is positive, what are the odds of me being positive as well. Will anti-bodies be present once a rash is present? (which now is mostly cleared) Is it too late to take PEP? Should I take the oral swab test again? I do have an appointment to have blood work done on June 13th.
Thank you so very much for any peace of mind thats you may offer.

Anytime you have unprotected sex with a partner of unknown status you put yourself at risk. However studies have shown that people with a low or undetectable viral load rarely pass HIV to a partner.
A test at 6 weeks will give you a very good idea of your status since most people that are actually infected will test positive by 6 weeks.
Good luck on your test.
