is numbness and tingling in the arms a sign ARS and could ARS start in the first week?

ok thanks vance i really needed to here that so I am no longer sexually active and had no actual risk so I will stop posting and wont bother to get tested again neither since HUMAN ERROR does not happen.

It could never happen simple as that.
We are not here to speculate "what if's" because they do not happen in real life only in our minds.

Teak has warned you rightly so. I see no reason for this thread to continue because we can not help you with anxiety and clearly that is what you are dealing with, not an actual HIV risk.

So say in a worst case scenario if a needle was re-used that was a vacuum container & a butterfly what would be my risk of contracting hiv if it was re-used is the risk low because I'm not being inject?

[nervousrec]

Yes I'm seeking mental help because I don't know what to think I have already convinced myself that I have hiv from a dirty needle and I am going nuts I can't eat and I can't sleep and I keep blaming myself for not looking at the needle I was the first person in the clinic that morning so I know no one was there before me but I keep thinking maybe he left a dirty needle out from the previous night and used it on me all because my arm is having sensations and it gets worst everyday.

I will not jump down your throat but it is not possible to reuse a needle like that and the burning sensation has nothing to do with HIV.

This is simply anxiety that should be addressed by a mental health professional.

I moved on from the oral situations when
I got tested but when I got tested I did not look to see if the doctor used a fresh needle now before you jump down my
throat & say no one uses old needles these things r possible & it its bothering me because I got the test on Nov 13th and 4days later I started feeling this burning & tingling sensation in my left arm & now 2weeks later it moved to my right I'm also & that's why I am so petrified!

[Vance2335]

I just went back and read some old posts by you. You did not have a risk from oral sex. Even if you had a risk (which you didn't) ARS would not come on this late.

It is time to move on from this.

[Vance2335]

A person can get none or all of them. But you can't use symptoms as an indication because they are general and linked to many things...for example a fever can be normal cold or the flu. So don't look for symptoms and if you get something you think is a symptom don't think too much into it because chances are it is not.

[nervousrec]

Ok and if ars does occur in a individual is it possible for them to have only one symptom or will they have @ least 2 or more?

[Vance2335]

No and No
