Is recurring fever a sign of HIV or ARS?

[razaky20]

exposure was 2 months ago - high risk - on 5/11

on 7/6 I had fever, headache, chills, nausea
this went away in 2 days

then on 7/18 i got fever again but not the other symptoms - just pain in left testicle

2 fevers in 2 weeks? this is abnormal? many websites have said recurring fever is sign of hiv - but then some sites say it occurs during advanced hiv stage

could i be going to that phase already? i am getting tested tomorrow

ARS temps are above 101 F.  See your doctor if you have an concern.

I wanted to ask you, do you have any idea what might cause a recurring fever?

My temperature keeps going from 98 to 100.5 - On and Off Fever

I took tylenol and medicine but it keeps going up and down now for 3 days

If you have any suggestion or idea what it might be, please advise.

See a dermatologist if you are concerned about your rash it has nothing to do with HIV.

[razaky20]

so if i have rash on lower leg and nowhere else, it is due to some other factor?

but how come it has been there for like 4-5 weeks now?

The rash would not only be located on the legs and it also lasts 1-2 weeks.

[razaky20]

1 last question, can rash associated with HIV occur on lower leg? and does rash stay on your body for like 1 month?

[razaky20]

ok thanks for taking your time to read my post

The fevers are continuous from 1-2 weeks it doesn't come and go.

[razaky20]

what do you mean? it says recurring fever occurs in those with hiv?

english not my first language, maybe yo can tell me what it actually say?

Apparently you didn't read the information.

Where did you read that?

[razaky20]

but how about the research and studies done online that say recurring fever is symptom of hiv?

does that mean they are wrong then>

If one has ARS it comes on 2-4 weeks post exposure and lasts 1-2 weeks not days.

[razaky20]

are you sure? fever is listed as the most common ARS symptom - and headache, chills nausea are also on the list of common ARS symptoms

but what do you think about 2 fevers in 2 weeks? this is sign of hiv?

[Teak]

Those are not ARS symptoms.
