These symptoms should test beyond 3 months
Dear Dr after reading through forums I have what I feel to be the realist
post closest to actual ars symptoms ive ever seen
In December I had unprotected ejaculated vaginal to anal menstural cycle sex
about a week later I had day dry cough, a few days later the area around
my right groin node turned dark or purple with a small rash above it and a brown bump under that
wich discolored the skin around it, the small rash was also on both my arms as well as red bumps
during this time My stomach was upset easily with nausea and had some gum bleeding,
the next thing I noticed was a red lesion inside my cheek and small raised white bumps next to it
then the whole inside of my cheeks turned fussy white with milky white lines in the cheek,
then developed wieght loss with muscle pain and soreness especialy in my legs, my gums and the roof of my mouth
became sore and tender followed by a tooth infection, during this time my skin and scalp became very dry and flaky,
to this day I get the little rashes on my legs and arms, the discolored brown spots, the white patches in my mouth and the red bumps on arms and legs, the tooth infection and Ive just developed a large bump on my face under my eye, some hair folicles that have become inflamed and my wounds dont seem to heal well
Since these are the true early signs Shouldnt I test 6 months out due to these symptoms?

You are WAY overthinking this. If you need other (non HIV) labwork...do you research what KINDS of lab studies the lab does, and go in requesting a certain kind of test? No.
Go to a clinic, family planning, or your PCP and request an HIV test, they will order the appropriate test, and it will be conclusive at this point.

Get tested and be done with it.That,s the only way you are going to get closure.Only a test is going to give you the answer you seek
Yesterday I got a sore throat and rash, since ARS is the bodys reaction to producing antibodys do you think my other symptoms were just the virus presenting itself in my body and I am seroconvertiung now?
Some say 3 months some suggest 6, since this is an overwhelming case Iam wondering why there is there different dates?
Now in such an extreme case would you recommend a standard rapid antibody or a different kind of more sensitive blood test?
Yes I'm 100% positive. Those that may need to test longer are patients on chemo, anti-rejection drugs for an organ transplant or chronic IV drug abusers and you don't fall into one of those categories.
Are you sure? I havent seen any other post with these kinds of symptoms, nothing as acurate as, so a test at 3 months and its 100% sure?
