did you test at the 3 month mark becuase you told us that yiou had unprotected sex? I think you should test if you have a concern.
you have a conclusive negative test result.
a cough is a cough...nothing more.
i had a negative test at about 3-4 weeks and am due to go back to be retested this week but i am worried sick about this cough as have heard different stories on a cough being a ars symptom just wanted to know if a cough was a symptom of hiv or swollen lympth glands though i dont think they were swollen awaiting a reply thanks
ARS symptoms come 2-3 weeks after infection and they stay for 1 or 2 weeks only.
well it was about 2 weeks when i was ill and the cough was prolonged for a couple of weeks just wanted to know if a cough possibly could be a sympton of early hiv thanks
Hi,
Symptoms don't tell teh whole story..I had headache for 5 weeks, sore throat for one week plus other random stuff.
Test at 3 months for final result.
Regards and good luck,

i am going to test this week asit is just over 3 months i did have headache no sore throat just cough and fever and chills so back to my original question is a cough associated with hiv ars symptoms
HIV has NO specific symptoms.
ok i understand that but has there ever been any documentation of a cough with early hiv
Not without a dozen other symptoms to go along with it. ARS is diagnosed after one has tested positive, not before. Which you already know, when it comes to symptoms they don't mean a thing in diagnosing HIV. By the way, what was your exposure? I don't see where you mentioned it?
i had unprotected sex 3 months ago and tested negative at 3-4 weeks and i am going back this week to be retested and think i am getting parronoid cus its close to finding out
