Acute Diarrhea 2 weeks after oral sex with menstrual exposure

Hi,
I had given oral sex to a girlfriend in India who was having her period. The exposure was less than 2 minutes and just the tip of my tongue. However, 2 weeks later I developed diarrhea that lasted about 5 days. When the diarrhea went I had about 1 day of nose stuffiness and post nasal drip and was left feeling fatigued.

While it is the 7th day now and I don't see any rashes or feel any swollen lymph nodes or didnt have any noticeable fever I am concerned about the fact that these may be ARS symptoms. I am planning to take a test at 8 weeks and will refrain from sexual activity but can anyone please tell me what you think about my symptoms?

Thanks

Damnit teak! It's 8:25, December 31st and here you are 12 minutes later saving me from a panic attack and a New Year disaster. I'm still getting tested but my anxiety level is going to be more in-check.

Happy New Year MedHelp Staff and thanks for helping us all with such a needed forum.

It's not ARS. You didn't have a risk.
