REAL ARS seroconversion symptoms, test negative

Last year I have had brain fog and was not clearly thinking about sexual risk, etc... I have had few sexual massages at massage parlour and in some of them I received Anal pro state massage. Last year, I felt little uncomfortable with my health as well and not realizing that I have had flu like symptoms as well but again never reliazed anything until recently. This year same things and the last one was in around starting of May.

Right after that incident I've got follwoing symptoms between 2/4 weeks.

FLU, NIGHT SWEATS, BODY RASHES, JOINT PAINS, FATIGUE, LETHARGY, LYMPH NODE DRILLING PAIN, MOUTH ULCER, ETC...

I then tested at 4g AB/AG negative at 12 weeks. But in betwen 4-5 weeks and 12 weeks, I've lost extensive FAT (but as i knew i increased my intake, so i didn't loose weight)... I developed gingivitis, body rashes that comes and go,

From last 1 1/2 month, I have had loose stool which seems like malabsorbtion symptoms and that's constant. Stool test and Colonoscopy is clear and that worries me a lot.

It feels like I'm in 3% who developes antibodies at later time ...

What should I DO ? On paper, I think I know the answers that I'll get mut I nees someone with experience who can tell me things...

I know that symptoms are non-specific and only way to know is through test, which I have done it...

Could co-infection dealy seroconversion ? I have completed 10 panel test as well at 12 week.

Hi.  MedHelp adheres to the position of the CDC as well as the input of leading expert physicians that HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the sharing of needles, or from mother to child.  Based on this, you did not have a risk but can test for peace of mind.  There is nothing to add this and we are now closing this discussion.  Good luck

The only way an adult can acquire HIV is through unprotected vaginal/anal sex or sharing drug needles with HIV infected users. Nothing you listed is even close to a risk. There's nothing you can add that will change that scientific fact. You had zero risk.

Once again, if you refuse to believe the facts then just get tested and collect your negative results.

You had no risk from what you have described. But if you require confirmation of your negative status then you're free to get tested. It's up to you but since you had no risk then there is no reason to test other than seeing the negative for yourself.

I understand but it was not a "No" risk situation.

Risk + Symptoms = worry for me. On top of the worst symptoms, all those gone as well like ARS.

My platelets count has been way down from before/after tests.

You have to have had unprotected sexual intercourse in order to have risk of HIV. If the only 'exposure' that you had were sexual massages ( including your prostate massages). You had no risk of HIV whatsoever and didn't need testing in the first place. Whatever that you're experiencing isn't HIV related.
Suggest you work with your doctor to sort out your ailments.

Thanks Malbat for your answer. However, I understand that we are talking about "whatif" scenarios here. But, She was playing with her P***Y as well and the worst part is what if she had vaginal liquid and may be in worst to worst case, intentional.

I understand that prostate pose little risk but it's not a "NO" risk situation. Also, I was receiving at that point and she was deeply into it. It also lasted for 5-10 MINUTES or so.

1) I usually have cuts on my finger (cuticles). What if she has similar situation ?

2) RISK - EVEN THOUGH LOW RISK, TIMING OF EXPOSURE, TIMING OF ARS, MY BODY CHANGES ALL MAKES SENSE ...

They no longer works there and almost entire staff has been changed. so no way for me to verifying that.

Overall it feels like my immune system has taken very bad bad bad hit.


I'm planning to get 18 WEEK 4G ab/ag, rna qualitative, quantitative and CD4 counts etc... to see if I can connect anything prior to it's too late...




No one has been infected by a finger in their anus and I believe you will not be the first one. Sorry I don't do    "what ifs". If it was a risk I would have told you.
TY Malbat.

My worries is that, let say .0001 copy of virus may have been transferred during the exposure and it may have went up and down during ARS. However, because it was not in that much quantity, ANTIBODIES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN ENOUGH QUANTITY FOR ANY TESTS TO PICK IT UP BY 3 MONTHS.

And may be that's why some Drs. recommends 3-6 months, and CDC plays it safe saying 3% people it takes longer ...

That's what I feel like as I really really felt it.
