Thank you for your response and I understand what you are both saying.

My concern is over the fact that some websites say that mouth ulcers are ars and some say they are not. I am just confused and what somebody to tell who Is knowledgable which is right. Are mouth ulcers in isolation possibly ARS? If somebody could please answer this I won't question any further.

Yes it is the only symptom I have.

Some websites list mouth ulcers as an ars symptom and others say it is not a symptom, it is very confusing.

I do plan to test, my doc said 6 weeks and 12 weeks.

Any advice on the ulcer concern would be greatly received.

symptoms or lack thereof, do not diagnose hiv.  testing is the only way to know one's status.

3 months post exposure will provide a conclusive result.
