Burning sensation??? Freaking out!
Hey all. Hope your day is going better than mine. lol. I just need to know if these are symptoms of ARS.
1. 2 cold sores in mouth
2. Burning/Tingling sensation on right foot,neck, and back
3. White spots on hands with some peeling
4. Stomach ache
HIV risk 5 weeks ago although it was oral. (I know a lot of people say it's zero risk but that is not true. It's just extrememly low risk)
I'm not making these symptoms up and I can't stop stressing. Any help?

I swear thats the same thing I got. There like two on the back of each side of my mouth. The thing is I don't know if there sores cuz of something I have or becuz when my mouth is dry and I get nervous somehow I bite myself accedently and cause them. I always get them and pretty much in the same spot. Nevertheless I'm still worried.
I'm not trying to be a pest but I wrote it down wrong saying they were cold sores because cold sores do not occur in the mouth. I actually do have two canker sores. So I'll probably stress about that lol. Thanks for the info though. I guess I'm a little relieved. (not too much though till I get the results)
There has never been anyone documented to have contracted HIV from a blowjob and you won't be the first.
No they are not even close to the real symptoms of ARS.
1. cold sores and ulcers appear in mouth for reasons as trivial as hot weather. they are harmless. since you are stressing out, it is more than likely that the cold sores are due to stress. I have had these all my life because i usually bring stress upon myself. The moment you get your conclusive negative result, they disappear.believe me i am still waiting for an ulcer or a sore in my mouth after my 13 week negative but i can't find one.
(Oral symptoms during ARS almost always involve apthous sores or canker sores which are highly characteristic of a viral infection and they are very different from cold sores).
2. Almost everyone here, including myself at one point, believe that we have peripheral neuropathy following primary HIV infection. Guess what, burning and tingling in arms, feet, shoulders, neck are the classic symptoms of anxiety. I have had such a bad tinglings but now i want to feel them again but they don't appear and this is exactly after my result, not a day less or more.
Instead, what we all suffer from is PERIPHERAL NEUROSIS. You can read about it all u want on the net. ITS AN EMOTIONAL DISORDER.Wonder where its coming from?
3. white spots with some peeling? dry skin? hot and dry weather?allergy to something around?
4. Stomach ache...hmn, through out my time as a school kid, i used to get stomach aches right before the exams and my doctor got so bored of me because he couldn't even prescribe me any medicine. all because of stress. When i grew up, of course, i started taking beta-blockers.
my point is except for #3, all the other symptoms relate to typical stress or anxiety.
By the way, YOUR RISK WAS MINIMAL (ASYMPTOTICALLY APPROACHING ZERO)
