Classic ARS symptoms

hi Mr. getitright77

thanks for your Valuable time.

as you mentioned in another thread

"Classic ARS symptoms are very sore throat,very high fever and rash on trunk--torso and limbs and they appear 2 to 4 weeks after infection and last between 4 days and 2 weeks,they don,t come and go and the rash does not itch"

you mean to say, that after possible exposure if the above symptoms are present, then there is a possible chance for Infection ( i know it could be based on the persons Body condition)

and some other thread says there may not be any Symptoms, symptoms wont tell any thing for HIV, (Only 3 Month  Test is there to Confirm. 100% agreed)

is it possible to provide any measurement ? what could be the degree of fever can expected?

chillness, low fever(99 - 99.6)  is that bcoz of Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Stress ?

these numbers and measures might help to reduce the Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Stress


thanks for understanding.

ok,sure.If you are experiencing those symptoms then the ideal test to take is a p24 combo at 4 weeks because this is when the p24 antigen is at it,s peak.However, because stress and anxiety symptoms can be similar to ARS symptoms then it has been established that only an Hiv test will determine one,s status and nothing else.I hope this will settle your axiety when i tell you that a p24combo test taken at 4 weeks is 99% accurate.You would need to follow up at 12 weeks because of the guidelines in place but a negative at 4 weeks with a DUO/COMBO is extremely accurate.
