ARS????

[ivan423]

If Guillain Barre were to occur in ARS would it generally occur with other more 'typical' ARS/HIV symptoms or could it also occur on its own with no other symptoms?

thanks a lot teak, appreciate it.  I'll stay off the internet and test at the appropriate time.  Thanks again.

[Teak]

No not at all.

if you could just tell me if the following sounds like  ARS to you I would be most grateful, if it does then I may well consider doing an RNA PCR test:


3 days post exposure:  severe sore throat for 5 days with some dry cough
8 days post exposure:  numbness in legs with some tingling sensations

Sorry don't want to bang on about symptoms as I understand what you have said but if you could just give me some advice i'd appreciate it.  I really don't want to get sucked in to google!!!

ok thanks,  am just scared at the moment. Feel like a complete idiot as I had unprotected sex, have no other symptoms other than this potential GBS.  In order to get through to the time to test I was just curious about whether or not this GBS Is common in ARS or if it did present it would do so with other more typical symptoms.

I know I need to test and I will. Was just looking for some guidance until then.

We don't discuss symptoms.

[ivan423]

I understand that but surely with ARS there are typical symptoms... no???  So if HIV has no specific symptoms then does that mean that GBS could be present in ARS?

[Teak]

HIV has no specific symptoms.

[ivan423]

Just so that I know what are the symptoms of ARS, alot of websites say different things and it would be great to know what REALLY ARE ARS symptoms and what are BS?

[ivan423]

really, wow that's a great relief.  I read on the body that it was and 7 days past exposure I started getting weak and tingly legs.... freaked me out a bit.  Thanks
