Can't explain it, can you?
      #32906 - 04/24/02 11:45 PM

Ok....so i never thought i would be at risk to HIV, but when i developed a rash on my arms and back, red, dotty, bump in some areas in others not and itchy i thought it was HIV. I don't usually get rashes and for it to appear 1 week after unprotected sex was very weird. I put a cream on my rash and it was gone the next day.Two days later i had loose stoole and then three days after this swollen glands. Before my rash appeard i had sex with my boyfriend, if i had the rash i wouldn't of had sex, but this was before it appeard. Then a week after we had sex my boyfriend developed a rash,his was under his arms and between his thighs. He was given an anti fungal cream by a pharmasist and it got rid of it in two days. I've been told that the rash couldn't be related to HIV if it was treated with a cream. But then our rashes were different, his wasn't itchy mine was, and his was slightly pimply and mine was under the skin. It dosn't add up. I know i shouldn't diagnose myself with HIV, as this isn't a smart thing to do and i'm doing everything to find out other STDs this could be, but i can't. Does anyone else have any idea, is this HIV or something else? Has anyone else had these symptoms?

You have written before with the same question and you were told also before that HIV rash can't be treated with cream, so why do you ask again. You should know by now that HIV rash is not curable by cream, and it last for lot more days than two.

Other STD's maybe, maybe some skin irritation, maybe something nothing to worry about. Stop searching on the Internet because you will not be able to find an accurate information - and if you think you might have some STD's than get tested - it would be very bad to allow some minor STD to become chronic.

But it is not HIV, and it is something that can be treated with very little effort.

Sounds to me like you are feeling pretty guilty about cheating on your boyfriend, if i'm reading between the lines properly. Your just guilty and stressed out about your "exposure." Tell him or learn to deal with it; the choice is yours. Peesawt

My rash lasted more than two days, but it subsided after putting a cream on it. The rash was present for about four days. It's not guilt, because i didn't cheat on my boyfriend. I wasn't looking for symptoms they just appeared, HIV didn't cross my mind until the rash appeared. All i am doing is trying to find answers, because this can't just be a coincidence! I just am asking if anyone can in anyway explain this?

Why would you think that you are not at risk for new

HIV when you are having unprotected anal sex? You are at risk. The only way to know is to have an HIV test, symtoms are irrelevant.

I'm confused... you were worried about unprotected sex with someone, and even more worried that you may have infected your boyfriend. If the unprotected sex was with your boyfriend, and you thought that you may have been infected from him, why are you worried about infecting him? Something doesn't add up??

Could you bef eeling guilty about the sex you had? Really ask yoursel if your comfortable with sex or your sexuality. Do you feel you deserve to enjoy sex? Your not at risk for AIDS.

There is NO scientiic proof that anal sex can transmit hiv and if you have the link to it I would be very happy to visit it. This concept is based on homphobia/analphobia, guilt, fraudulent science and sexual shame. Its only a theory but there is no proof despite how many times its repeated.

He's worried about double and triple infection on top the re-infection.

I wasn't with my boyfriend when i had unprotected sex with someone else. It wasn't my boyfriend who i think infected me it was someone else. Do you understand? My rash appeard one week after infection, and it was itchy for three days and then i put cream on it and it wasn't itchy and subsided eventually the next day. But i'm not sure if it was the cream that did this. I'm hoping this is all in my head, but i'm doubting it alot. I'm not feeling guilt, i wasn't guilty at all, i had no reason to be! Sorry if i made the story unclear.

Semen contains HIV. When you perform anal sex you can tear anal wall causing bleeding. Semed infects blood stream. You are HIV positive. its called comme sense moron. you are such a idiot it makes me laugh. I actually sometimes look forward to your posts because they give me such a laugh at your stupidity

I'v heard that "theory" but when I have searched or documents to support it nothing! It curious that the same principle does not apply to oral sex. Besides not everyone bleeds during anal sex ya know. The HIV theory is anal-phobic!

If that is true, then the "HIV theory" is also vaginal-phobic, breast milk-phobic, child bearing-phobic, and used injector needle-phobic.
