ARS symptom

Last exposure was 8/8 (so around 9 days)
2 days ago I have this heart burn and it went away yesterday.
This morning it came back after I ate some yogurt until now... Feel burn but when I burp it feels nice...
I also kind of feel some mucus stuck in the back of my throat. No sore throat though, I can swallow fine , but when I drink seems like just under my throat is burning.
No running nose, temperature is at 98.7 - 99.6 (sort of up and down).
No fatique, 1 dime sized unitchy non hurt blotch/ rash on my right lower arm.
are this ars symptom at all?

Okay

Thanks for the info but it is not related to HIV or ARS

You need to get ahold of yourself.

"I am having a big burp and feeling better in my stomach."

There is your proof your symptom is digestive in origin. It has nothing to do with ARS. True ARS cannot be burped away.

I am not a doctor or medical expert, but what I can say is this, what you are experiencing has nothing directly related to your sexual encounter. It could be heart burn, caused by stress, etc. But it would have nothing to do with ARS/HIV/STD etc.

Like I said, I believe it is nothing, but if it persists and still bothers you, see your doctor. That's really all you can do.

Fell better!

I am feeling better now that I read your post and other ppl responded to mine....
My exposure was with an escort where I am doing cunnilingus (inside and out) without knowing the status when I asked the escort she said she is clean and get checked up for std month and still not sure about hiv though sounds like she is required to do the regular check up since she works mainly in vegas (by vegas pd) but I am not sure if she lied to me or not.
When I confronted her she said she would not let me do it to her if she knows she has something...(not specific to HIV stilll) and she told me that you will not get hiv from cunnilingus... similar answer from most of ppl in this forum including MD HHH.
But we are talking about HIV, so I am still having anxiety

If the problem persists, see a doctor. While I have not had heart burn, for most of the year, and still do, I have had chest pains on my left side (heart). I had blood tests, x-rays, EKG, electrocardiogram and nuclear stress test. All are negative, so all the more serious problems have been eliminated and I don't worry about it, but get it checked out.

I am actually thinking it might be a stomach problem so if it persists I will see a gastrointestinal (sp) specialist.

Again, if you are experiencing something, that seems to come from out of nowhere, and it persists, see a doctor. Especially anything heart related. Most likely it's nothing, but better to be safe than sorry.

Stress and anxiety is a number one trigger of acid reflux/heartburn. I know this because I am a life-long sufferer since an infant of heartburn and take meds every day for it. Heartburn is absolutely not related to ARS.

The symptoms you are describing are normal bodily functions that you are more aware of right now because you are symptom hunting and monitoring your body.

your body temperature fluctuations are normal in the standard range of change during the day.

No. Your symptoms are not HIV related.
