Why cant you clarify HIV/ARS based on the symptoms?
Why cant you clarify HIV/ARS based on the symptoms?
Best Answer
Because symptoms don,t diagnose hiv only a test result taken at 3 months post-exposure does.Also some people that contract hiv may never have any symptoms.
to answer your original question:
ars symptoms are the same symptoms of many, common, everyday illnesses. this is why you cant diagnose hiv by symptoms. the only way one knows they experienced "ars symptoms" is after they test positive.
also...many symptoms that ppl experience are psychosomatic. they have an exposure / or not, they get on the internet and start searching for symptoms, and immediately they start experiencing the symptoms they read about. if i posted on here that pain in the third toe of the left foot was found to be a new symptom of early infection...you wouldnt believe how many ppl would start complaining of toe pain.
