question for Teak and all the informed guys in this forum

I was reading through this forum, and I read through some of the concerns about Dizziness and ARS? Are they related? I had a spell of constant diziness  ( it was like a vertigo for one day)for a week past exposure. No fever, no rash, no swollen nodes. I had a day or to of upset stomach and slight diarhea. In the internet I did not find relationship between dizziness and onset of ARS, is it true. ( my exposure was giving and receiving oral sex to a female, I know the risk is low but it doesn't stop me from worrying). I appreciate your response

HIV does not have any specific symptoms, which one could pinpoint on. If you believe that you may have been at risk, Test..

Dizziness is considered as an ARS symtom according to mike_no.  Strange, because he also mentions that it is a classic anxiety issue as well.

Now I hear it is not an ARS symtom...

Don't take what Mike said out of context. ARS for those that have it, has the same symptoms as does alot of other illnesses. There is nothing specific.

Okay, I'm sorry if that piece of information was kind of misleading.

What I meant was dizziness is an ARS symptom, it does not occur alone but with certain other set of symptoms, which comes together and goes away together

The most common anxiety symptom is dizziness.
