Not quite right

Hello,  About 11 weeks ago I had a not so risky experience, I am a staright man and gave oral sex to gay man who ejaculated in my mouth.  I came here and confirmed that the risk was very low, I did have some ARS symptoms but I feel it was just from being anxious. I have for the past few week have had a strange sensation in my skin.  At times it feels warm, warmer than usual over my chest, stomach or shoulder blades  If I am active the sensation comes, if I sit in the sun the sensation comes, if a take a hot shower the sensation comes or if I am under a blanklet the sensation comes.  Any ever here of this?  Wondering of this could occur AFTER ARS?.

You need to chill out bro, even if that did indeed happen to those people it was a false positive due to the negative test afterwards. Sounds like the testing procedure wasnt right for that pos test. In the end those people were HIV negative.

Well at least the meds helped you out a good deal. I dont think that 10 week is gonna change man. Besides a few pimples and sweating i wouldnt think point to HIV anyway.

hey worried, yes,..paxil and the klondin helped significantly,..although i still think i'm pos at  having 10 weeks negative. I still feel the antibodies are not showing and i havent seroconverted yet. So i'm doing another rapid blood test this week because i still think i'm going thru ars because i have all thse pimples now on the side of my back and my armpits are still a little sweaty.  But now i'm not panicing and not so tense and in muscle pain anymore...once i get that 12 week iny my hand no matter what the outcome, i can start moving on. ugh...anxious in wisconsin.

Yeah I know your story. I hope your anxiety is almost gone man, you got a 10 week negative which is extremely encouraging. Did the meds work for you getting through the window?

Hey Santa,
        Your risk was low, but still get tested, it can't hurt and get a STD panel done too. 11 weeks is a great indicator about std status, for hiv 12 weeks is conclusive. Those warm feelings your talking about, i had that for about three days, on the forth day i was hospitilized for anxiety thinking about if i contracted HIV. I'm currently at 10 weeks negative after an accidental high risk where condom broke, so i'm going to test this week and next for conclusive. my hiv anxiety is so bad, i'm on meds now to help get thru the window period. Worried knows all about my case, right worried? But, Santa,..go test and collect your negative results. :) Good Luck Bro.

Real ARS symptoms are flu like symptoms ie.. fever, swollen nodes, fatigue. And you would get all of them at once, not just a few odd ones all by themselves.

Youre at 11 weeks, if you are that worried and concerned then just go get a rapid test. Takes half an hour and you will know that youre negative.

Strange thing is, I had anxiety during  the first few weeks which triggered several ARS symptoms but after coming here I put it behnd me and have had NO anxiety.  These weird sensations still occured.

You had no risk. Youre so called symptom sounds like anxiety. You can get those weird sensations from anxiety, I do all the time.

If it will make you feel better go get a test anyway, it will be negative.
