Can ARS symptoms be drawned out?

I had unprotected oral sex with a man a month ago and I had a canker sore.  Got sick three days after and was diagnosed with mono two weeks later.  I was given penicilin for strep throat as well.  Mono symptoms persisted well over a month.  I was hospitalized yesterday after vomitting, diarrhea, fever and extreme fatigue.  Was diagnosed with pneumonia.  Was given antibiotics.

My batteries are completly empty after all these illnesses.  Does ARS ressemble this?  Does it come in waves or cause complications?

p.s.  I know some of you say oral sex is safe, but not everyone agrees so please just answer my question.

No and you didn't have a risk and don't need testing.

Ok, thank you.

Next question, I'm getting tested next week.  Will antibiotics, pneumonia or mono interfere with the test and cause a false positive?

p.s. everyone on this forum agrees that oral sex is not a risk. We stand by that.

We don't speak of symptoms because they are general and non-specific. ARS come son at 2-4 weeks and lasts 1-2 weeks.
