ARS QUESTION

[MIKE6969]

My question is this,

2 weeks ago i had unprotected anal sex for about 1-2 min with a women I met from the club,, then a condom was used, I live in Denver, Colorado,,,,,,,,and now I have a stuffy nose and my ears keep popping, not really popping, but more clogged! that is my only symptom if even a symptom, I was wondering if these are signs of acute infection, (ALL i have is a slight stuffy nose and clogged ears that pop, and itchy eyes,

No the CDC doesn't say that at all. They say symptoms are not reliable in diagnosing HIV and HIV has NO specific symptoms.

Were you diagnosed as soon as your risk was assesed or was it later on in the infection?

To me its just odd how they say 55-90% that dosn't make any sense, so does this just mean there uncertain, so either 1 out of 2 people will show signs thats 5-10 50% or 9-10 thats 90% thats what there saying.

So chances are if you dont have ARS you will test negative,, THESE ARE WORDS STRAIGHT FROM THE CDC

I don't want to pop your bubble, but I didn't have ARS symptoms.

This I do know, but im just wondering if anyone can tell me if these have ever been a sign of ARS, I mean anywere on the net it says around 55-90% of patience go through ARS which for me if it ranges from that, I suspect that most if not all people will go through ARS. Its just that some dont relize there risk and dont recognize when exactly there's happened, so to me if you get it then you go through ARS, so this is why im wondering if a Stuffy nose, itchy eyes and clogged ears are ARS, or can it be stress

You can't use symptoms to diagnose HIV. You will need to test.
