Why I am Scared????HIV
Hello,
I posted earlier this week..I have some additional things to add. Back in 2009 I had unprotected vaginal sex with a man I did not know. This was really stupid, and it happened one night of partying. Exactly 5 weeks later after traveling to SC, the next morning I was feeling really odd..Malais I'm assuming, and had really bad diahrreah. I felt really tired. I didn't have a fever(THAT I KNOW OF BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AROUND AND OUT AND ABOUT), sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, or rash, but the diarhhea stands out because I remember having to stop and get some pepto. This lasted a few hours, and that night after taking pepto I was back to normal..Eating and feeling well. Does this sound like it was ARS related or just maybe something I ate?

Symptoms or lack of will not tell you your status, the only way to know your status is by testing. As you were already advised your 3 month post exposure test will be conclusive.
Hi Teak...Can youhelp me with this one please..do u think these were ARS symtpoms? The diarrhea and mailase?
I didn't test. I dont recall saying that. The last time I was tested was in August of 08. The unprotected sex happened in Jan, and the Diarrhea happened in Feb. 5 weeks apart. I have been with other people since then who have tested negative and these were long term relationships, but it still bothers me...a lot..
