long lasting ARS- how long???

     4months after all symptoms debuted I still have sore troath and aftas in my mouth and my lymph nodes seem bigger.I am very afraid. I took boraxed glicerin for the troath but all problems are still there. Is that normal? Teak, i bag you, tell me. And do you have any idea, i remain with bigger nodes for the rest of those 5-10 years?
     Teak, again I am sorry....i haven't took the 6months Elisa as I know the result and I prefer not to know for sure. It sounds stupid, but it is very true....

if you believe a 10seconds touching skin (penis-vagina) could result in contracting HIV, how come you guys know that oral performed by girl (even 10-15 mins) in completely safe? i am so scared,not by the oral i received, but about the one i performed. that guy talks about 5-10sec, just touching and no symptoms.
and you guys told him "most likely you are ok"

Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!  I can't stand it.  You have all the information you need. You're NOT ok, you have HVB.  Get it treated - you'll feel better.

    Teak,  I do not have any access to the amount of info u do: in my country docs do not now so many things. I' ve asked and they told me they also read about those people infected both with HCV and HIV and showing pos after 10-12 months. here docs seem so frightened about this HIV thing: they know the window of 6months, how could I ask: ok, I was neg at 3 and I do have HBV...so...I am ok, right????
     It does not work this way: they told me go test 6months. I am afraid to test again,I know I'm a chicken. They told me 3months neg= 80% you are ok. Here I've read 99%.....

HBV nor HCV extend the window period. Go to any clinic or ID doctor and they will tell you the same thing.

Move on, you've already demonstrated that you don't know anything about testing or HIV. 12/13 weeks is conclusive.

yes, i had that problem, i have read a lot. but i forgot to tell you I have HEP B and that's the reason I am afraid to test 6months (the regular window period, especially when you have hep b or c). When i tested 4months neg i was really relieved,then i discovered hep b delaying....and come on, who gets sore throat and LYMPHS from hep b?
