Arg........

My partner just said she is sick and its been the 2 week mark of the last time we had sex....been too scared. shes displaying some ARS symptoms......

Mine are going away slowly but still its such a good coincidence that the ARS symptoms happened all at the same time if i am not positive. how about the guys that tested negitive did you guys experiance all these same symptoms? For you positive guys what was yours like?

(my exposure was vaginal fluid on top of scab abscess with ingrown hair so basically skin integrity HIV transmission scenario)

Everyone here seems to have experienced "coincidental" symptoms, and all believed they were positive.  Then they get their negative tests and many move on.  

Just having vaginal secretions on scabs with ingrown hairs is not a risk.  Risks are unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an HIV + person, sharing needles, childbirth via a HIV + mother to fetus, or receiving a blood transfusion from an HIV + person.
