Can red rashes on the thighs and hands of a person be associated with HIV?

Hi doctor,

What is the CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immuno Assay) test? I checked ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test for me, and my partner at 62 days is negative, and I have done p24 antigen and antibody negative at 53 days, and my PCR qualitative was negative 21 days. Suppose my partner is negative by any chance. In that case, if I turn positive after all the tests are negative, my chance after the 90 days tests mucus problem is still running, and I have an upset stomach; my gastroenterologist suggests a colonoscopy after 15 days. Is it due to any other STI (sexually transmitted infection)? I have had a red rash on my thighs and hands for the past few days. My skin doctor says it is an allergy and gave tablets Allegra 180 mg and Metrogyl M ointment. Why am I having these issues and my mind running around because are these issues related to HIV? Is there any chance I am infected with HIV? My herpes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), syphilis, and hepatitis B were negative at 40 days. Also, my partner's hepatitis C test report was negative. Please suggest me some medicines for mental depression. Are my tests reliable? Will fourth-generation tests that were negative after 60 days turn out to be positive after 90 days? Are the rashes normal or are they due to chicken pox or measles?

Please help.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Seeing this rash also on the head of the penis. They come and go; anything serious due to any STD or STI, or do I need to get any tests done? I am also having rashes on my skin. So please suggest gonorrhea or any tests recommended. I previously tested herpes PCR negative, and I checked it once again.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

After 105 days, HIV ELISA was negative, and HBsAg and HCV were negative, but at 45 days, HSV RNA PCR was negative. When I did HSV ELISA IgG/IgM, it showed igg3.49, meaning that HSV affected me after the PCR negative. Is it possible? I need to consult a doctor if there is any treatment for Herpes and find that in the report Only, there is HSV IgG /IgM. Is it for both HSV1 and HSV 2? Please tell me what the next thing I need to do is. I eliminate HIV. Is PCR Hsv negative after ELISA is positive? Why do I need to recheck or have HSV confirmed HSV 1 or HSV 2 results in my attachment for both? Please tell me

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Being active means, is it still present in my body, or will it affect me later? My doctor suggests I need to take the varicella vaccine. Why was my PCR test negative? Should I consider getting an ELISA test done to recheck, or should I go for PCR HSV or HSV 1/2 ELISA? Kindly reply and please clarify why it did not show up in the PCR test. I would appreciate some answers.

Hi doctor,

Thank you again for your time; I greatly appreciate it.

After testing positive for HSV IgG, I need to follow up with additional supplementary tests. I have done both the HIV Western blot and HSV 1 and 2 antibody tests. For HSV, the value shows as beyond the limit, but it is 0.73. What should I consider? Am I negative for HSV or not?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

After my HSV test report came back positive, I consulted an infectious disease doctor. They checked my HSV-2 IgG antibodies, and the results were negative after four months of exposure. The doctor stated that I do not have HSV-2. After that, I had protected sex, and it is been almost 35 days. I noticed a small purple spot on my genital area. I am concerned if protected sex can transmit herpes or other STDs. The doctor mentioned that it does not seem like any STD. I am wondering if there is a chance of contracting an STD even with protected sex. Also, I do not need to worry about HPV; it is just a small purple spot, and my HSV-2 test was negative after four months. Can protected sex pass any STD? That is my question.
