Three years ago, while in Albuquerque I had unprotected sex with a girl I met at a bar. About 5 days ago I came down with the chills, fever, and body aches, and now there is a red rash spreading from my knees and elbows down and up my arms and legs. As well the rash is completely covering my buttocks and is moving up my back. I have not gotten tested for HIV, but ordered the test yesterday and am waiting for the results. The quick blood tests show a strong white blood cell count, no influenza, but definitely some kind of viral infection. I'm completely freaked out and unable to sleep. I know I won't know anything till the test gets back, but what are your opinions on these symptoms showing up three years after the encounter. From what I've read they usually appear 1-4 months after exposure.

Confidential HIV & AIDS Home Test Kit
Results over phone, anonymous testing in privacy of your home. FDA approved! Accurate!
This approved system uses a simple finger prick process for home blood collection which results in dried blood spots
on special paper. The dried blood spots are mailed to a laboratory with a confidential and anonymous personal
identification number (PIN), and analyzed by trained clinicians in a certified medical laboratory using the same
procedures that are used for samples taken in a doctor's office.
