Hi Doctors: I'm sure you will say that I am whack-a-doodle, but I'd really appreciate it if you could put my mind at ease. During my wilder days, which have ended since I got married a year ago ago, I used to travel to Vegas with buddies from time to time for fun, which sometimes included my hooking-up with escorts. Always used condoms, although there was couple times the condom slipped off for a couple minutes. Pretty much forgot all this stuff until recently, when I happened to come across an article about Vegas and AIDs.
This got me thinking and very anxious thinking about my past, doing research online about HIV etc. Then, I remembered that there was one time that I'd had this period of a couple weeks where I'd had these night sweats. I didn't think anything of it at the time, I just thought that because the room was cold my body was creating heat. Based on what I read about HIV though, I am freaking out that this might have been an ARS symptom. Here are my questions:
1) How much risk did i get exposed to with a couple of those condom slippages?
2) How about the night sweating, could that have been an ARS symptom? I had no other ARS symptoms with that - no fever over 100, no lymphnode breakouts, no rash etc. - but does ARS ever manifest itself only with night sweats alone, or is it usually other symptoms with it?
3) Shall I go get tested ASAP I suppose? What kind of test shall I ask for?
Sorry Doctor, I probably sound a bit hysterical, but ever since I remembered that I'd had those night sweats a couple years ago I've been a nervous wreck, but my one source of comfort is that it seems unlikely that ARS would manifest itself with night sweats alone, there'd usually be other symptoms, right? Please advise!
