ARS

[clansman]

I am experiencing a time of high anxiety at the moment. 2 weeks away from a 3 month test.

I also had symptoms at week 5 and week 6 which I had been putting down to stress - nausea, trembling, sweating (no fever) and headache. Even although I had a 6 week test I'm worried that it may have been too early if I'd been seroconverting at 5 weeks. I am panicking again since these 5/6 week symptoms went away after 2 weeks.

If these symptoms were really due to anxiety surely I'd still be experiencing them now?

What are the chances my ARS started at 5 weeks?

Is it possible for ARS symptoms to come on independently over the space of a week or two?

When people talk about a condom slip do they mean down the shaft of the penis or completely off?


Appreciate any thoughts.

I have a question on ARS. I had a brief unprotected vaginal sex. It lasted about 30 sec. After 4 days I have been sick. I woke up with a soar throat and later had about 5 hours with 99.9 fever. Today I have very slight soar throat and like a head cold.

Is it possible to get ARS so soon four or five days after possible exposure?

hey, first of all congratulations on your negative six week test dude, thats pretty much 100% conclusive, and I can't believe your still worrying! I can't blame you though, I have a negative five week which is about 95% reliable and Im still out of my mind crazy worrying, nightmares and all.  anyways, I am NO professional but have done a LOT of research on ARS symptoms because I got swollen glands on one side of my neck, and a case of hives on one side of my face.  From what I understand, your symptoms dont mean anything, and that means from when you got them to what they are. If you ARE infected, your body would have antibodies being produced and they WOULD be picked up by six weeks dude, trust me.  It doesnt matter if you started getting "symptoms" late. That doesnt change the fact that if you got infected by your exposure six weeks ago, your test would have picked it up-bottom line. Your three month test will come out the same, I promise you :).  Ill let you know how my eight week goes, I go this friday and like I said Im still scared out of my mind.  Good luck!
