ı  wonder if herpes zoster has anything to do with ARS (early)symptoms?

[Dindy]

yes, herpes zoster or shingles occur in the ARS, but occur also in others situations and in normal person.

Herpes zoster with fever and others symptoms?Or only herpes zoster?After many days?

What's your risk?

Thanks, I had protected sex and protected oral with sex worker in Macau.
I touched my fingers her vagina and my mouth. After 7 days I started fewer and night sweat for three days. Now herpse zoster is only on my left hip. Doesn't hurt. My left lymph has got also a little swelling. Doctor diagnosed as herpes  zoster.
I feel ok. No fewer and herpes has almost vanished.
Fewer didn't go over 100F or (37,7C ).
I am a bit scared that is something to do with it.

You've used a condom for vaginal sex and oral sex.
If was a latex condom(this it's only importan for the vaginal sex) there isn't risk for hiv(if not broken).

Your fever it's low for be ARS, and also this fever can't be ars because you've used the condom.


Congratulation for your safe sex, very few people use protection for oral sex.

Don't worry, protected vaginal sex=ZERO risk.

Thanks dindy I hope I am ok. I was in Macau SAR(near Hong Kong) sexworkers are so carefull doing it she did what she had to do.

She got a shower, then carefully put condom on me. She used creams in case of breakage.
But my first time with a hooker. I got so tense and nervous. I wet her vagina to  have it ease. As you do to clean girls. Then I did it twice with the same fingers.(not too sure). This is my real exposure..other is protected sex.

I will never do that again. It is stupid to risk your life even if it is %0.01
I got so long trip to macau before I went to Las Vegas. I was really knackered. After I returned from macau. I went to some forest in sunny weather with 4 hours valking (3 days after the exposure). The other day I got pain in may joints and night sweting and low fewer about 37C. Then I noticed the stain on my hip.
I went to doctor. So you know the rest..
What I understood through fear and all is that all you need is to be heard by people helping each other and sharing your fear and suffering.
But unfortunatelly that doesn't change the fact that I may be infected.
I appreciate all of your help.
