ars question

can ARS symptom continue upto the 10th week? my groin area still hurts time to time :(

Also i have heard that in ARS there is generalized lymphoma..wat does this mean exactly ?? does it me that all your lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, and the groin area will swell/pain equally at the same time or does it mean that u will have pain/swelling in one area first then in other area? also is the pain constant or does it switches on/off from one area to the other ? and is it necessary to have swelling or we can have pain without any visible swelling in that area ?

get tested! and secondly if it is ARS it would be all lymph nodes not just one or two!

from what i read they are always 2-4 weeks after the exposure and also i heard lymph nodes swell all over the body and are not painful. i have swollen lymph nodes in my groin as well. so im in the same boat.

how can u tell that they r swollen ?? are there any visible lumps ? do u have pain in ur groin area ?

No, ARS symptoms would not last that long. Swollen lymph nodes associated with ARS are not painful.

Are ARS always comes together or you can get it one after another?
And are they always associated with fever?

Symptoms of ARS come on all at once and leave all at once. Yes, fever is always associated with ARS if you have symptoms. I didn't have any ARS symptoms or illnesses, when I contracted HIV.
