Dear Dr HHH - please advise on seroconversion and duo

[CifCotton]

Symptoms of Seroconversion to a T - Help!
I travelled to Beijing in late June 14' - whilst there I enjoyed the night life kissing many girls (western).

On 20th July, I had sex twice first time the condom broke completely exposing my shaft. Prior to this accident I was experiencing malaise and a general feeling of something wrong with me.

11th August - 11/08/14 - temperature, beginning of a cold, feeling slightly weak in legs

12/08/14 - temp settles down, stuffy nose intensifies

13/08/14 - temp settling down more, nose stuffiness intensity reduces
12:20

14/08/14 - temp settling, nose stuffiness reduced, papillae enlarged with heavy white colorisation of tongue (possibly thrush?) 67 BPM (weight loss at appox 5kg)

15/08/14 - temp settled, check over at hospital temp approx 37c - still no soree throat, itched behind knee, rash appears on shoulder and forehead, red and raised slightly, quite large 2cm in diameter forehead and 3cm on shoulder.
- general fatigue and weakness in legs, advised of high blood pressure 160/90

16/08/14 - slowly getting appetite back, temp returning back to normal still no sore throat, no runny poo, white patch back of throat remains
- hands wrinkle when wet, skin peeling?

17/08/14 - weakness in legs has returned, bones keep clicking, both hands feeling weak when making fist.

24/08/14 - Persistent diarrhoea, gas and upset stomach

26th August 2014
- Full screening: tested for chlamydia, gonorrhoea -negative (clear)

- HIV (DUO) + Syphillis: Negative (clear)

1) I tested more than one month after exposure and I was experiencing the worst fever; is sneezing, and blocked stuffy nose ARS synptoms?

2) If these were true ARS would the test of picked it up?

3) is a rash on the palm (macupolar)when wet ars?

4) node back of head swollen, few in grown area?

5) dry lips and dry mouth all these symptoms have really confused me. If I was experiencing these symptoms would my test of showed pos?

I had a CBC and lymphocytes were down, high mono, and extremely high CK.

Is extreme dizziness and weakness in arms and legs ARS symptoms?

1) Would my Duo of returned positive during the symptoms I had?

2) Can one lose weight from a simple cold?

3) I tested at  five weeks Do you think I require an extra test? The advisor refused me another test...?
----------------

I have several lymph nodes in groin with are hard and firm (no pain) a few on neck and two flat firm around throat.

I keep having hot flushes (raised temp in the morning which settled with nurofen flu tablets). I have tested at 35 days when my symptoms (above) were at its peak.

1) would the DUO pick up anything if this was ARS?

2) I have a constant white tongue and random painful raise on skin pimple without the head.? Are these explainable?

3) am suffering from lymphoma?

Please help, I went to the Clinic yesterday and they assured me I was clear so refused another test....

Hi Vance,

Thankyku for your response.

1) Would my Duo of returned positive during the symptoms I had?

2) Can one lose weight from a simple cold?

3) I tested at  five weeks Do you think I require an extra test? The advisor refused me another test...?

Please advise?

1) Sounds like a normal cold
2) Test would be positive shortly after ARS
3) No
4) Is this a question?
5) Has nothing to do with ARS

A test at 6-8 weeks will be a very good indication.
