question!

[asp123]

Hi,

Does anyone know the amount of people that do end up with symptoms? And what symptoms are most common...ive heard that a fever is very common but how long would that last for? etc? do symptoms generally last a day? or a week?!

Assuming no symptoms? and 1 time exposure is pretty good odds?

I have read about 70-80% of people have symptoms of ARS and 96% of those people have a fever. You get a lot of symptoms at once, not just one. And the symptoms are identical to those of mono.

Everyone on these forums will tell you symptoms mean nothing.

I have all the symtoms of ARS but it turns out I have mono.

Well i guess symptoms do mean something in a way....if u had a low risk..plus no symptoms then in all u would feel a little better! Also if u've had mono once, i hear its hard to get it twice soo thats a good indicator too! but i see ur point when u say symptoms dont mean much!

If you had a fever related to ARS you wouldn't be on the internet asking. Symptoms if you have them at all, last 1-2 weeks.

Also do u know how long the fever would generally last?

Ya i had a 1 time exposure with a female....vaginal sex...unprotected! She said i have nothing to worry about it and since we've been good friends! It's been about 3 weeks and i havent really had anything except a sore throat, but i often get those i guess! and twice at night i woke up a little bit sweaty! but nothing other than that! so i was kinda of tip toeing around questions to make myself feel better!

I was wondering if u could reply to my last statements! thank you! if u can....ive read alot on Dr. HHH and i guess i feel like im in ok shape!

[asp123]

If i had a symptom related to ARS i wouldnt be asking? how come...it would be so obvious that i would know about it!

You had unprotected sex and the only way to know your status is by test. You can test 12/13 weeks post exposure and get your conclusive test result. Next time use a condom.
