Very Worried

[Quaestor86]

I had a high viginal sexual exposure with an infected gal,i went on PEP within 24 hours but in week  i developed a sore throat and it seems like it doesnt want to clear and has made my lymph nodes in the neck and under the chin to be swollen,can this alone be a sign of ARS

[Quaestor86]

Im not sure if it was tht one,so if it was not then it means its not accurate????????

Home access collection kit is the only approved home HIV test.

Tested again yesterday, more than 12 weeks after nPEP and the results were negative, i bought a test kit and do it home,how accurate is this test?

throat feeling blocked?  not ars related

[Quaestor86]

Thanx Lizzie Lou,but cant it also be linked to ASR symptoms?

[LIZZIE LOU]

anxiety can cause your throat to feel blocked...

[Quaestor86]

So can this be an ARS symptom?as it was in week 4 and i still have tht sore throat upto now,almost 3 weeks since it started,but at night it clears off and start during the day around mid morning,i will juss have a funny feeling on my throat like something is blocking it,i dont have any problems in swallowing food.

If one has ARS symptoms they come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and  last 1-2 weeks.

It was high exposure,unprotected sex with an infected person

Sounds like you might have a cold to me, what was your exposure?
