Question about exposure and ARS

[Agua135]

Hi,

Well my story is that I had a one night thing with a girl who has been leaving in the U.S. for the last 5 years but was born in Russia (which I just learn its high risk country). She is not a sex worker and is not an iv drug user. We had oral both ways and also protected sex except when the condom slipped and I didn't notice and migh have continued for a couple of minutes. My worries are that exactly 5 days after my exposure I had the worst soar throat ever for 3 days accompanied by fever and night sweats. When I noticed that the condom slipped I stopped  and asked her about her HIV status and she said that she was clean. I will do my usual std annual test but would appreciate if you guys give me your opinion on risk from this exposure and if this symptoms sound like ARS

A condom slip is not high risk

Thanks. From what you read in this forum, is this considered a high risk event? My real worries are the symptoms that are the same as the ones discribed. So you think they are probably do to something else? I also think 5 days would be too early.

Thank you for the help..

If your condom slipped completely off that's a  risk. However, ARS usually begins 2-4 weeks post exposure.  Test at 4-6 weeks and again at 13 weeks for a conclusive result.  The oral sex is of no concern here.
