Is this typical of ARS?

[robkfromphilly]

Recently, about 10-15 days after exposure, I started to experience occasional burning sensations along my neck. My doctor checked my lymph nodes and said there was no swelling. I was curious if this was an early symptom of ARS. I've had no fever, no cough, one case of diarrhea, but one normal bowel movement later on, the past two nights I've had night sweats. Do the symptoms of ARS usually come all at once, or in variety such as this. My exposure was giving unprotected cunninglus on an escort for under a few minutes. I've also just started Zoloft as of Wednesday (day 13) Am I over-reacting here? Any feedback is much appreciated.

[everyminutelive]

In my defense I was wasted drunk. Since then I have sworn off alcohol

[everyminutelive]

I have to call in tomorrow morning. I had night sweats nausea. I had sex with a crack ***** who was black, with no condom. Exactly three weeks later I came down with some flu like symptoms.

[everyminutelive]

Yeah go elsewhere, I had real exposure and had ARS well what seemed to be and I have to call for my 6 week test. I am freaking out. I can't sleep I can't think straight this *****.

[LIZZIE LOU]

name fits you.  go play elsewhere!!!!

[INSANE_I_AM]

I don't know, dude. I waiting for 3 month mark. One month to go. This is how I became insane.

[robkfromphilly]

So safe to say I can move on then away from this 'irrational' worry?

[robkfromphilly]

I know, sorry anxiety was bugging me. I'll take it as my negative is conclusive and move on.

[Teak]

You were told last month you didn't have a risk.

[robkfromphilly]

Teak, for the sake of my anxiety, (though I've been told time and time again by various reliable sources no risk) I tested at 6 weeks, negative. I've had no unprotected sex or any other risks in the past 2 years, can I move forward with my negative result?

[robkfromphilly]

Thanks Teak, I trust your opinion.

[Teak]

Correct NO RISK.

[robkfromphilly]

I'm moving on, as ECN stated that vaginal secretions are only infectious inside the body during intercourse, and as Teak stated in various other threads, Swollen glands are NOT painful in regards with HIV. And if my night sweats were of worry, I'd have a fever accompanying it, along with swollen glands. I do realize ARS symptoms vary but I'd prefer not to be scared.

[robkfromphilly]

If i just sucked/licked her clit, technically the secretions are outside of her body? So in essence, they're OUTSIDE the body, therefore No Risk.

[Frank303]

The risk is extremely low as ECN pointed out, negligible, for all practical purposes zero (as Teak pointed out).
There are no typical ARS symptoms, they vary widely even it th nature of those symptoms that that have highest statistical incidence..

[robkfromphilly]

haha thank you very much! I'm sorry I kinda pointed ya out there, thank you so much for clearing that up for me, I am RELIEVED.

[ECN44120]

They are not infectious outside the body, they are infectiuos inside the vagina and only during penil-vaginal unprotecetd sex, Im very sorry my answer worried you again, but for your last question

NO RISK AT ALL, ZERO ZIP NADA IMPOSIBLE; ECT
No test needed
Please Move on and forget about this.

Sorry again

[robkfromphilly]

I really wish you hadn't told me all that ECN, now I'm worried.. How are vaginal secretions infectious outside the body? And wouldn't that pose a risk, if viral load was high, and I had bleeding gums/inflammation. Doesn't the slightest small change in temperature destroy the virus? And as for the swollen glands, I've heard Teak and another claim HIV doesn't produce swollen glands. Even if my glands were swollen, does a fever usually accompany that as well? I'm experiencing some groin pain on the left side only, would usually both be swollen?

"The fluid a woman produces when sexually excited comes from the Bartholin's glands, located on either side of the vaginal opening. I have yet to discover one shred of evidence (and believe me, I've looked) that shows this lubricating fluid to have any more hiv present than other bodily secretions such as saliva, sweat or tears. Saliva, sweat and tears are NOT infectious fluids.

So there you have it. Once the results of the serodiscordant studies started rolling in, what we know about hiv transmission on the cellular level was validated. The only people who were getting infected were those who had unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse. Period. One of the three studies went on for ten years and involved hundreds of couples. That's a lot of nookie." From AIDsmeds

So is this still NO RISK? No testing involved, and I can MOVE ON from my worries.

[ECN44120]

1. IS just theorical risk (that are the correct words) there has never been well documented case of trasnmission due to cunnilingus, the CDC doesnt even have an stimated risk for it.
2.YES
3.YES
4.YES
5.YES
6. Not 100% true, vaginal fluid is infectious too.
7. True
8. True
9. YES
10. Good
11. It depends not 100% correct
12. Night sweats are caused by fever.

What about this
1. NO real risk
2. No worries needed
3. No test needed
4. Move on

Good luck

Awesome, thanks. I know its a little weird I've posted all that, just like being educated about it. Keep up the good work around here.
