How long can ARS last?
Is it possible for ARS to last more than 5 weeks? You know, if it started ten days after possible exposure and lasts more than 35 days? Especially if symptoms come and go within this time frame?
Like I had ever symptom you can think of that can make me think I have it. Joint pain, shortness of breath, muscle twitch/shock, headache, throat pain, nausea, fever, frequent urination, testicle pain, and I got a big bump on my forehead that hurts.. For me, it started with just fatigue/tiredness, then chest pain, then joint pain, etc. I did have feel multiple symptoms at once but they came at different times, some came weeks after (headache, fever, muscle twitch/shock, butt/armpit sweats/blood in anus/stool) and some left after a week (frequent urination) and some started days after (joint pain, nausea, chest pain)... It's definitely scary to have all those symptoms and not think that it's not that. Anyway, I took a 4 week (31 day) test and it was negative and I'm gonna take a 8 wk (53 day) test tomorrow.. Thanks for all the help, guys...
Oh, my exposure was unprotected vaginal sex for less than two minutes--max. However, I started having "symptoms" tens days after possible exposure... It started with being tired on day ten then later I got pain in my testicles, chest pain, shortness of breath, frequent urination they all came at different times, then I got joint pain which lasted for more than two weeks of constant joint pain all over but now it just comes and goes, then 5 weeks after possible exposure I get muscle twitching and then 6-7 weeks I get a fever.. Like I get a new symptom around the time one goes away... Now I've been having "symptoms" for more than 6 weeks, almost 7.
Symptoms do not come and go with ARS and no they don't come on one at a time. You would have multiple symptoms within a days time of ARS starting.
I know symptoms aren't any gauge just a quick question, when you say it last 1 - 2 weeks, does it mean all symptoms would come and go all at the same time, since mine it seems if indeed these are ars comes one at a time and would disappear one at a time also, intact it seems it would come and go sometimes within the day or over a period of few days.
Thanks in advance.

Where did you get that info from that ARS last 1-2 weeks, if one gets them at all? And do you know how many people experience ARS? Is it the majority or the minority?
