Peter, it's not clear from what you have written if you have had an incident which causes you to be concerned about HIV. If so, details please.

And did you have a rash which now has cleared up through the use of the medication you mention?

Again, please clarify.

ok, I am on time of waiting until being testied, and reading about the ars rash seems to be very inespecific, I had a rash due to urticaria ( alergic ) that resolves with istamine,so I was wondering if this is diferent

Peter,

The rash that can sometimes be associated with ARS will not go away after using antihistamines - except as a matter of coincidence.

We don't talk speculation here - we talk hiv risk factors and hiv testing. Unless you want to be a little more specific about your situation, there's not much we can do for you.
