I had the guy test twice 8 weeks after exposure both test negative so im assuminq my "symptoms" are not ARS symptoms beinq that hes my only sexual encounter other than my gf ..we only do oral or dildo ..which we bought brand new from the store and i keeo it with me..but IF i had HIV and didnt know for YEARS..I know they say after ars most people develop no symptoms for a very long time ..but when these symptoms reappear do they go on everyday for a month !?

The reality is that you need to put this into perspective...your risk was ...meh!...he tested negative.....symptoms mean nothing......but a risk is a risk and relying on your partner's test is really not a good idea. Just get a test at 12 weeks post your last exposure.

I know that it makes no sense but it was much easier to get tested before this incident and these "symptoms" .. any other time i went in with no sweat or stress,  this time its hard to face the reality of what it may be ... but i understand what youre saying as well !

" Im very scared to get tested because of what i think is ars symptoms.."

This makes absolutely no sense. It's ok to be scared, but at one point you have to face the music and once and for all know your status.

Your risk exposure seems low...but you have to test at 12 weeks post your last unprotected exposure regardless of his results.

You never rely on someone's else results. You don't without a doubt when they last had unprotected sex and if they had tested at the correct time.
