I did, but I was hoping someone would reply.
Did you happen to look at the date on that thread?
Also the fever goes away in the evening, so basically all the symptoms sorta come and go.
Everywhere I read it say the ARS symptoms show up and then vanish so I am really hoping that this is just anxiety. Meanwhile I am trying to gather the guts to go get tested.
I have had the same thing but its getting a little better now but its like it revolves from a dry mouth to a feeling of sore throat (Why I say feeling is because I dont have difficulty eating) to a sore tongue. On top of that I always feel like I have fever but the thermometer never reports above 98.8.
Were all of you guys tested negative? I am too scared to get tested.
My possible exposure was about 3 and a half months ago and I have never had a real fever in this time. It was protected.
Also my wife has not shown any symptoms either, she actually has nothing going on probably cause she is not suffering from the same sort of anxiety as me.
I didn't do that. Bluestar found this thread. Apology accepted.
My misery has been going on for more than 6 months. It hasn't seemed that long, but I hve been miserable since June, its like a waisted a year of my life. Not to mention my depression is getting harder to endure
but teak! please be my friend!!!!!
You're beyond the scope of any help that can be found on the Internet. Seek one on one professional mental help.
If I really have something, could I talk to you for guidance? You seem to be a strong and knowledgeable individual.

did you read about NTJock? I'm beginning to wonder if I've developed herpes on my tonsils that is causing me to cough. I would think that would be painful, IDK. But I've had a cough since september, how can it not be HIV? I know fingering and protected sex isn't 0 risk. Especially fingering, something went wrong.
This thread brings back memories.
You didn't have a risk for HIV so it has nothing to do with ARS.
I'm experiencing the dry mouth ARS scare right now. I'm soo scared by it because it has been extreme and persistent. Is this anxiety? I'm hopeful that it is because most people that seem to have had this symptom have been ok right?
Thrush is a painful mouth infection, white patches can be caused due to dry oral condition which is caused by anxiety
white patches on the tongue are by no means necessarily thrush...
Does anyone think that dry mouth can lead to white patches on the tongue (thrush)? I know for instance that there is a link between dry mouth and frequent urination (like in diabetes). I have white patches on my tongue and wondering what can cause it apart from std. I know anxiety can cause a lot of things like urination AND dry mouth but a white patch seems too much.
I cant buy a Home Access. I lost my job due and have no insurance. I need to save my money, maybe when I get a new job I can buy a HOme Test.
yea I feel your pain girl. You can buy a Home Acess Test for 60$ at a drug store, mail it in, it takes 2 days and you will get results.
I am too scared to go call their manager or go back for another test until 12 weeks,
They think I am crazy there, and look at me strangely. The three times I was there I was crying and acting hysterical. They think I am a crazy lady.
I also dont like how they try to tell you how to have safe sex etc. I know how to have safe sex, I was a victim of a man taking off a condom. I try to explain that to them and then they make me feel worse by telling me to know who I am sleeping with, well, I knew him, we were in a relationship. I want a rapid test, not safe sex counseling. I hate Public Health.
bluebell, its ILLEGAL I am telling you, I got refused once, I called their manager and he apologized and invited me back. so go get tested, if not, threaten them to tell better business bureau bbb.com ?? at least go at 6 weeks..
P.S I have no insurance, but every fancy medical place has CHARITY program , talk to finance dept in the clinic, bring your paystubs, and you are approved for all kinds of services, thats what I did, my PEP bill was 1500$, I paid $0 .. so I am very grateful and blessed for that.
The public health wont let me take anymore tests until 12 weeks!!!
I went in there on day 9, day 10 and 3 weeks acting crazy and they wrote stuff in my chart about no more tests until 12 weeks.
I am in my 6th week right now and scared to death. I want to get a test.
how do you do prostate massage on yourself? its difficult
dotn worrry about dry mouth, it just anxiety..relax bluebell and bigdummy.
we just overacting and over worrying, that why we start to think that we are infected in HIV, or we could have had HIV anxiety instead of HIV+ anxiety.
relax, and relie on 6 weeks test, even i said that im still worrying myself
god
"I wonder if I can request to get a Western Blot test. I dont want to deal with the possiblity of having a false positive antibody test."
A Western Blot is a confirmative test. You don't have a job and if you don't have insurance you won't be getting one unless your test is reactive and then it will be confirmed with a Western Blot. It is not a stand alone test.
