Basic questions

[hopinghere]

Sorry to ask such basic questions, but the internet is full of conflicting opinions and by looking around your site i have come to highly respect your opinion.

1.) In heterosexual intercourse from the mans perspective; is anal sex any higher risk than vaginal intercourse?

2.) Does having type one herpes leave you anymore likely to contract HIV assuming all else is equal?

3.) I completely understand that symptoms for HIV are no indication for assuming one does or does not have the disease. however, i was curious as to the time frame after exposure that stage one symptoms can possibly be attributed to HIV. Is 5 days too soon for symptoms to have HIV as a possible causation, Is 60 days too long a period for HIV to be an attributable cause for stage one symptoms?

Thank you vary much for your time, it is greatly appreciated.

IF someone experiences symptoms of ars...early infection...it comes at 2-4 weeks post infection and lasts for 1-2 weeks.

We don't discuss symptoms on this forum. Symptoms will never tell you anything about your status nor does HIV have any specific symptoms.
