Night Sweats

I would like to know, Could night sweats due to ARS could occur without fever? Are they localized i.e. occur only around one's neck and upper chest? How many nights could they occur? As regards drenching, does it mean that you expect to change all the bedding's or just the only the thin bed sheet on the upper most?

Thanks Teak. Still am going for the test today. I had Chlamydia and Gonorrhea tests, all came back negative 6 weeks after exposure. But the question i would like to ask you is about the timing of my that night sweat i had, i experienced it towards the end of fourth week after exposure nonetheless my temperature when i was going to bed was 97.6 F. Wasn't it ARS?

Life360 what do you mean i have good qualities?i have searched lots about other causes night sweats, but i don't fit in those categories. I may say anxiety could contribute to it, but am not convinced. I may say i was diagnosed with acid flux but i still don't believe.

If your penis head was inside her vagina, exposed, then what we can suggest is test 3 months post exposure. Symptoms could be anything and thats why we prefer not to include them in risk discussions as would turn out to be a never ending anxiety driven discussion and would not tell us anything.

Hello, my exposure was semi-protected vaginal intercourse. I noticed in the end that the condom i used, its tip had been teared, and my penis was exposed. I have never had fever, rash, sore throat, swollen lymphs,diarrhea etc. My only worrisome symptom is one night of some how damp night sweat around my neck, but i wasnt soaked.  And i have been depressed and stressed all the way after the exposure.

Hi, HIV is diagnosed from tests not symptoms. What was your exposure?
