is this ars...VERY WORRIED
greetings. i had protected sex using a latex condom with a hooker on 1 september. the condom didnt break according to my observation but the girl bled and she claimed that she was on her period. 2 weeks later i used to pass loose stool once a day and it was VERY mild. i also felt slight joint pains for about 4 days and a very slight headache.didnt have rash and as far as i'm concerned i never felt feverish and didnt sweat at night.i also had a stiff neck on one side but i figured i might hav not been laying on the bed properly.i did not however feel any lumps either on my neck or in my armpits.i also had a dry throat (not quite sure if it was throt or upper mouth just before the throat.my throat was not painful however). i was tested at 18 day (antibody test) and it came out negative. i also once felt a burning senstion on my chest at around 4 weeks. all this time i've been conscious of HIV and doing a lot of research on the internet. i have no mouth ulcers, have always has appetite and never nauseated. my questions are
1. can fever be detected without use of a thermometer.
2. is a dry throat equivalent to sore throat
3. are these symptoms INDICATIVE of ARS
4. is my test at 3 week dependable in that I dont have HIV
5. is burning sensation on chest indicative of incoming rash

Thanx man for the confirmation. jus so you know, went for an HIV test today an it came out NEGATIVE. i'm ecstatic and am taking this opportunity to inform all those that are worried and self diagnosing themselves to just STOP worrying and go get tested. ARS symptoms are also similar to several other illnesses as well so just get over your paranoia and go get tested. I believe now that the HIV is difficult to transmit. For as long as you're protected, you should be aayt. Be sure to use your condoms correctly and i suggest that they be latex condoms. Stop worrying and use that time to do something useful. Stress is bad. Cheers. Hope this is helpful as i wish it to be.
