hi teak

thanks for your quick response teak, but wht can i call these symptoms as?? everything happened after the risky sex, dr HHH said in many of his post that fever start normally around 10 days to 14, i had my fever exactly on the 10th day, and he is not so specific abt the temperature (can be low to high) because fever is a fever no matter high or low,

after i went through your profile realized that you are the top expert in this forum,but can you tel me in worse case if the condom broke during the sex exposure, can i relate all these symptoms as ars

ARS normally starts 2-4 weeks.  you had protected sex you dont have ARS.

could be coincidence or it could be Anxiety.

see a doctor for your symptoms its not ARS.

Hi please read my post clearly and respond  I have already seen the general dr did all the test but everything came negative. And for ars fever there is no much difference between 10 days and 14 days. Dr hhh told in many of his post that ars typically starts from 10 to 14 days

let me explain something to you.

in order for someone to have ars symptoms...they HAD TO have an exposure and become infected with hiv.  YOU DID NOT HAVE AN EXPOSURE TO HIV FROM CONDOM PROTECTED SEX...THEREFORE...YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE NOT NOT NOT ARS RELATED.

futhermore...ars symptoms come at once...they dont come day after day. one at a time.

if you are having health concerns...SEE A DR.  it's not hiv related and you do NOT have a hiv concern.

this forum has nothing left to offer...kindly move along.

I'm sorry to post again. My mouth became pale white with severe soar throat. Continues weight loss and low grade fever. Rashes all over the shoulder

Even though I say myself that all these are not related to ars due to the fact I had protected sex. But I did remember I licked her finger. After she did fingering. But still I can say that I have salaiva in my mouth to kill HIV virus. But y the hell it's all happening to be.

Your symptoms are for sure due to something other than HIV as you were NEVER at risk for infection. See your doctor about your symptoms if the dont go away. It is most likely due to anxiety.

You do not have HIV

Hope this helps

First a CBC test or (Complete Blood Count) will not test for HIV. You have been told many times you never had a risk. You really need to seek help with your HIV anxiety.

If you have further questions about this please post in the HIV anxiety forum.

You have nothing to worry about in regards to HIV

Kindly Move Along...
