ARS symptoms?

[bessx]

Hello all, I have made several threads that put my mind at ease over the past few weeks since my last oral encounter. Today marks day 17 and I woke up with something that has scared me even more.

I think this could be an ARS rash. I have no other symptoms though, no fever either, just a cough.  I have included a photo.

Is this an ARS rash?

[bessx]

Because I am actually curious as to if it actually does or not. Trying to become more educated on the subject.

you have been told repeatedly that you had no risk.  why would you come back asking is ars causes pneumonia?

YOU DONT HAVE HIV

So, the other day I woke up with a fever and a bad cough. Went to the doctor today and they said this was caused by pneumonia. does ars cause pneumonia? Asked the doctor about the rash, she didn't know what it was but gave me a cream for it.

Nurse girl is absolutely right, no risk, you do not need to test. As an aside ars symptoms would not go on for 4 weeks.

Nebraska...with all due respect, you are on the forum asking your own questions, you are not educated about HIV and yet you are going to give advice?  That's not fair to the posters coming here expecting accurate answers.

The OP does not need to request an HIV test because he did not have a risk...and also, telling someone to ask for "full blood work" not only doesn't make any sense, but it isn't helpful.

Also, quit asking questions in other people's threads!

OP...you didn't have a risk, you don't need testing.  Whatever is going on with your skin is something you need to sort out with your doctor.

What is the exact precentage of people experincing ARS symptoms? 50% or 90%

I think you need to go to the Doctor. Request a full Blood work Including HIV. This will put your mind at rest.

What is everyone's opinion on the photo of the rash? It is still there today, but it's a bit lighter.

You have also been advised in another forum that you never had an exposure. Move along.

[LIZZIE LOU]

a "normal" temp is 98.6 and you're worried about a temp of 99.1 to 99.3?  that's not even 1 degree over the norm.

[bessx]

Today my temp has been 99.1 to 99.3. I'm now even more worried.

You never had an exposure and you are not having ARS symptoms.
