regularjoey...about the comment you left for me about dr. hhh and HIV-2

by MissMessUp, Jun 30, 2007 09:46PM
He really answered this a lot about HIV-2?   I never seen any comment about HIV-2 or only rarely, so thats why I was wondering about it.  If you find a thread about it can you send it to me?  b/c ive searched and couldnt find one.  


also, heres a scenario.  Say someone had sex and got infected with HIV.  They have ars symptoms and then it goes away, and the person didn't think anything of it.  Well, suppose they are reinfected by the SAME person like 4 months later.  Will they get the symptoms again, or since they already have antibodies, will their body not have ars symptoms again?  I was very curious about that.  Thanks.

Just google "HHH" and "HIV-2" - there are a 100 hits on medhelp.
You can browse through all of them if you like.
It's not an issue for you!

The second question is actually a good one:
Up until a few years ago there was a doubt if reinfection is possible.
But now we know for sure that it is, people definitely can get reinfected.
As far as ARS goes, that probably is unknown - because nobody cares.
My guess is - no, you don't get ARS the second time (but it has nothing to do with antibodies).
