result one day one week
Dear Dr!
I wrote to you yesterday, and thank you for your quick reply.
After two and a half month I want to let this nightmare go. I hope you don't mind if I have a couple of questions, just to make myself perfectly safe, and have my final relief...I perfectly understood your first reply, just my head is till confused.
1: can I have symphtomes within 2-3 days after the possible exposure? - I saw some brown spots on my shoulder,- on the same day I had sex- which disappeared in a few days, and I had night sweats for almost a month long..i got a full blood sample and urine analysis,it did not show anything...the doctor examined my liver, it was okay.
2: after this my night sweats were kind of disappearing, but in the 6th week at nights I had pain in my stomach, first in the stomach, then in every part in my belly, so hard that I couldn't sleep, my period came even sooner, and took longer than usually, and the night sweats came up again, strong again. The pain, the fever went by after a week. Does stomach, or liver disease have to do anything with ARS? I still feel my liver hurts sometimes, but regarding that I drunk alcohol it is no surprise I guess...
3: why do people need to wait one week after got tested, if there is an opportunity to get the results on the same day? Are both equally trusty?
Nice night

Hello again,
As follows I will try to answer all your questions:
1: can I have symphtomes within 2-3 days after the possible exposure? - I saw some brown spots on my shoulder,- on the same day I had sex- which disappeared in a few days, and I had night sweats for almost a month long..i got a full blood sample and urine analysis,it did not show anything...the doctor examined my liver, it was okay.
NOT AT ALL. ACUTE SERO-CONVERSION SYMPTOMS NEVER OCCUR BEFORE TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING EXPOSURE AND DO NOT LAST LONGER THAN 7-10 DAYS. THOSE BROWN SPOTS WOULD BE IRRELEVANT AND THE NIGHT SWEATS POSSIBLY COINCIDENTAL, BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIV.
2: after this my night sweats were kind of disappearing, but in the 6th week at nights I had pain in my stomach, first in the stomach, then in every part in my belly, so hard that I couldn't sleep, my period came even sooner, and took longer than usually, and the night sweats came up again, strong again. The pain, the fever went by after a week. Does stomach, or liver disease have to do anything with ARS? I still feel my liver hurts sometimes, but regarding that I drunk alcohol it is no surprise I guess...
NO, STOMAC OR LIVER PAINS ARE RELATED TO ARS. IT SOUNDS MORE LIKELY TO BE THE ALCOHOL, POSSIBLY COMPOUNDED WITH ALL THE STRESS.
3: why do people need to wait one week after got tested, if there is an opportunity to get the results on the same day? Are both equally trusty?
I THINK THAT OBVIOUSLY DEPENDS ON THE CLINIC YOU GO TO AND WHERE THEY PROCESS THEIR SAMPLES. WE ALWAYS GIVE THE RESULTS OF THE HIV DUO AFTER 4 HOURS ON THE SAME DAY. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IF THEY ARE THE SAME TEST, THEY WOULD EQUALLY RELIABLE REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RESULT.
Best wishes,
Dr Jose
