Early symptoms

[lordzeager]

My following symptoms are: dry mouth, nose, and eyes.  It appears 3 to five days after my exposure.
My risk was vaginal sex with a sex worker (condom on and intact), blowjob without condom.  Is it possible to develop HIV symptoms within a week?  Thanks,

Zeager,

I will second others who have already pointed out the obvious: your curiousity about the symptoms of primary HIV infection (otherwise known as ARS) is irrelevant, as you were not at any risk at all of contracting HIV. You had protected sex (which is a good thing, and which, as the name implies, protected from a range of STIs, including HIV), and being the recipient of unprotected oral sex is not a risk at all. Thus, your concern is misplaced and unwarranted.

Truly, in your case, the only thing you have to fear is fear itself, as you did not, could not have contracted HIV from the activities that you described. No way.

The doctor says symptoms won't start any earlier than a week.  Typical is 10-14 days and can last 1 - 2 weeks.  I fall in that timeframe for symptoms as well.  Doctor thinks it is WAY more likely to have caught any other "garden variety" virus.  It is cold season !
Also, your only possible exposure was the BJ (sex was protected).  Doctor says this is very low risk.  They estimate oral sex with an infected person to be about 1/10,000.  Approximate chances of your Sex worker being infected is probably 1/10 at worst.  You have about 1/100,000 chance of being infected.  As the doctor points out, your time would be better spent worrying about getting in a deadly car accident or getting struck by lightening.  Your risk is low to non-existent.  Get a test at 6 weeks to ease your mind but it will surely be negative.

Your symptoms sound nothing like ARS symptoms because you are not at risk for HIV. You had sex with a condom and thats all that matters and bj are not a risk fir HIV
