ARS question

I know symptoms are never a good indicator of hiv infection, but is dry mouth a symptom of ars? I have had a very slight dry mouth (probably due to nerves and stress) lateley and a little bit of a sore throat (probably due to the dry mouth). Could this be ARS at all? I read that ars almost never occurs without fever or rash, is that true?

I recieved unprotected oral sex. I know the risk is only theoretical, but I'm still worried. I read that DR. HHH stated that ars would not be (or too crazy rare) without fever or rash, is this true?

Hi there,

You are absolutely right! HIV is diagnosed through a blood test, not through signs and symptoms.

Perhaps you would like to share what risk you have?
