Hi Lizzie,

As you are expert in knowing the ARS symptoms and the transmission .

1. Do everyone gets ARS symptoms ?. If yes what is the common one you see?. Is it fever, is yes how many days it will be atleast.

2. Any idea of the test ICMA Antobody which Labcorp do.. is it which generation?. Is it a rapid test or good test. What is the percentage of we can know an infected person by taking this test after 30 days.

Also as you experts say that transmission is very rare unless unprotected sex.  but in developing countries with big population like India why do we see this number increasing. Every one is using condoms as it is widely advertised to do this . Also Dr. Hunter and Hook say that the chance is very less like 1 in 1000 even if we do unprotected sex.. then if that case why do we the day by day increase in cases there..

Also how are we doing in US interms of the number of cases per day.. is it big.... How is it the case with Asian massage parlor ladies .. does most of them have this hiv or not in US especially...

I am doing more research on this and want to help others like me who are worried and frighten.

1. NO
2. 4th

There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months post exposure.
