I tested negative for HIV on January 12 after my last exposure on November 10, but I still have rashes and cough. Am I okay?

 It is important to understand that a negative HIV test result after a sufficient window period (generally 3 months) is highly reliable and effectively rules out HIV infection. While concerning, your rashes and cough are likely unrelated to HIV and could be caused by various other factors.

Here's what you should do:

1. Consult a doctor: They can properly diagnose the cause of your rashes and cough and recommend appropriate treatment.
2. Explain your HIV test results and concerns: This will help your doctor understand your full medical picture and provide the best possible care.
3. Do not self-diagnose: The internet can be a source of misinformation. Refrain from self-diagnosing based on online information and trust the expertise of a qualified medical professional.
