Can HIV Be Caused By Penetration?
Hi I am 17, and weigh 10 stone 6. Last year I had an episode where they thought I had toxic shock syndrome - I had a high fever and a rash on my inner thighs. This was a few weeks after I made a mistake and almost slept with someone for the first time, he only entered me about twice before I came to my senses, but is it possible I have HIV?

Yes hiv can be spread by penetration once. However your toxic shock syndrome may not be due to that. But ensure yourself and go through hiv testing once.and be safe. Hiv1 to hiv 2 ab and p24 ag combo test us ideal for that at this time.
