ARS after 6 days?
Hey all. I feel like there's a chance that I might have made a huge mistake and given my gf HIV. Here it is in a nutshell. My last exposure was a little under 10 weeks ago. I had protected oral AND vaginal sex with a sex worker. Stupidly, I didn't ask her HIV status. Anyway, a couple weeks ago, I took an 8 week Oraquick test. Results were negative. Before that, I took a ELISA blood test 6 weeks post expsure and that was negative and a PCR DNA test / ELISA 2 weeks after the exposure and that came back negative too. Per the doctor's advice, after the 8 week test I put my worries to rest. However, 6 days ago, I had unprotected sex with a girl that I'm dating. Last night, she came down with a fever and sore throat. So now I'm worried that she's experiencing ARS symptoms. Please advise? Can ARS show up that soon?
If you would take it at 3 months like the test say. You wouldn't have to be questioning the percentages.
Are ARS symptoms persistent or do they come on and off? My GF's fever subsided for a few days but today it's come back.
the doctor on the other site has written a few times for other posts that 6 weeks is a 95% accurate result, not 80.
Generally it's persistent. You didn't give her HIV because you don't have it. Look in the Dr's forums for information on testing time accuracy.
