Default Rubella and Hiv Symptoms Very Similar?

Hi Dr Sean,
Sorry just now i did write to you, but nvr get any reply from you so i open another new thread, pls don mind me..

2 weeks ago, my whole body covered with rashes (not itchy but burning) lymph nodes on my neck and behind my ear (not pain, soft and not very big), joint pain, itchy palm and sole (feet).. no fever, no diarrhea, normal appetite.

went to see doc, they guess it might be Rubella (german measles) but without blood test.
I recovered after 3-4 days, rashes clear but feet still itchy and pain.. joint pain only recovered about 1 week later. lymph nodes had gradually getting smaller too..

My last exposure was 2 mths ago with protection, and my last check for HIV was Oct last year. it negative..
What are my chances? and those symptoms above i had it is HIV early symptoms?
Dr Sean, pls clear my doubts.. i am really scares..

Thanks Dr..

Good Morning,

You didn't have an exposure because you had protected sex.

Your previous HIV test was negative.

Rubella and HIV can cause similar symptoms - but the only way for you to know the difference is to test for both. I'm afraid I can't shed any more light on it than that.

best wishes, Sean
