ARS symptoms persistent?

[Frank303]

Are ARS symptoms persistent / continuous over the period of AHI or can they appear, go away for a couple of weeks and return intermittently?

Are symptoms usually concurrent?

Hmm.
Rash was day 21 which went away a week after. Fingerjoint pains on day 24, away a few hours after and back again tonight (d44). Lymph nodes have been up and down, couple of days swollen, a day fine, now I have a cold they are swollen again (day 44).

The lady I was with called me tonight and said the clinic she was at found all tests NEG. The clinic when I called them said they do ELISA and P24 as standard (also the clinic tht tested me can contact her one to corroborate). I know she wasn't with anyone for 2 weeks prior to me as I was living at her house so that's an 8 week NEG, though in UK it's a standard 12 weekwindow. She's way healthier than me so guess she would produce an immune response quickly if nominal healthiness is such a factor.

I'll test at 12 weeks for definite closure.

I changed jobs anyway left the rubbish one working outside ankle deep in mud and icy water today and start one on Monday which is not outside in the mud and bad weather.

Go see a doctor about that then, it's not the flu and it's most likely not HIV related either. This time of year it's not uncommon to catch the common cold many times.

You don't get 1-2 day flu every 6 weeks.

even if u keep getting 1-2 day flu,every 6 weeks?

They will come around 2-4 weeks after exposure and remain usually 1-2 weeks and then go away. If you get symptoms after a few months they are not ARS.
