Q. I saw red bumps two months after risky exposure. Am I free from HIV?

Hi doctor,

I have not revealed this to anyone. I am going through a lot of mental instability right now. Seven and a half months ago, I had protected intercourse with a sex worker. Then after the intercourse exactly after two months, I saw three red bumps on the head of my penis. So, referred to a physician the same day. Then from few antibiotics, it was gone (Clop-GM). I got tested for all STDs. Everything showed negative results but my HSV came positive. HSV 1 & 2 IgG 1.2. I took some medicines for it. Then again got tested after seven days it came negative both HSV 1 & 2. So out of confusion, I got tested again after two weeks from another lab. My reports where still negative. Also had HIV 1 & 2 testing five times.

• 10 week HIV card test negative.
• 12 week HIV ELISA serum test negative.
• 14 week HIV ELISA and P24 test negative.
• 16 week HIV 1 & 2 serum test and still negative.
• 23 week HIV 1 & 2 serum and P24 test negative.

Right now I am having dry cough from one week and it is not going away with the help of medication. I am scared. Please help me.

Hello doctor,

No fever from past three days. I am taking medication for cough. No genital lesions after that scene. But I do have pimples on my back from two months I guess. I have attached the final report of HSV as I do not have the soft copy of other two reports. My first report stated that HSV IgM 630 and IgG 1.263, the second report stated HSV 1 both IgG and IgM negative. HSV 2 IgG 862 and IgM 650. When I had those bumps there were no other symptoms of herpes. Am I free from HIV?
