Oral Sex

Hi,

I wanted to get your opinions on something.  I met a girl from the internet and she performed oral sex on me for about 30 minutes.  I am an uncircumsized male.  Exactly 3 weeks after this I came down with a sore throat.  That started about 2 days before exactly three weeks and at the exact 3 week mark I came down with a fever. The fever lasted for a day then seemed to go away then came back again for one day.  During the 3 days with the fever the sore throat persisted and I also had some body aches.  On the last day the fever was present I had some night sweats.  That was two nights ago and I have had the night sweats on both nights since but the fever and sore throat are gone.  Does this sound like ARS to anyone?

Thanks,

If you didn't have a risk then why would you need to test?

So there is absolutely no need in me testing then?  I can carry on without fear of infecting anyone else?

Thanks everyone. This has helped to put my mind at ease a bit.  I wanted to not worry about this yet here I am worrying about it.  I guess I will just hope and pray it is not HIV and get tested as soon as I can and have a reliable result.

We ar enot in the business of discussing ARS or symptoms for the most part and when you never had a risk discussing irrevelant issues is well irrelevant.

So no comment on if all ARS symptoms appear and leave at once?  I'd assume just having night sweats is not a symptom of HIV.

I guess I was more curious if this was ARS would all the symptoms not occur all at once?  I have never in my life had night sweats before?  Is this likely because I'm so stressed over this situation?

You never had an exposure so no it is not ARS.
