a couple of questions

hpa
Hello.  I've been browsing this and the related expert forum and I'm still unclear on a couple of points.  If anyone knows, please fill me in.

1.  Does not ejaculating decrease risk of transmission and if so, how much?
2.  How soon can ARS symptoms begin to manifest after transmission?  Is it possible in under two days?

Thanks,

A

pardon me, I think I see now where my wording was confusing.  If my partner is infected and I don't ejaculate, how much, if at all, does the risk of transmission from my partner to me decrease?
