swollen glands - HELP!

[diegobaby]

Last wednesday I had unprotected oral sex and a few days later I was getting swollen glands in my throat and a cold, could these be symptoms of ARS? I heard that ARS symptoms don't usually occur until 2 weeks after exposure but is this possible that my symptoms are showing earlier?

If people who are dealing with hiv for decades say that they haven't seen any case of hiv transmission through oral sex you should believe that it is not risk,  

You can see here discussion about oral sex:

But could you just elaborate as to why some see oral sex as safe and some others don't? I would greatly apprecaite it.

thanks for all your advice...i know people keep saying that oral sex isn't a risk, but on other sites it says it is so it gets confusing! i mean especially if u have cuts/sores and u get semen/blood on them it seems a real possibilty! and the CDC says it a risk so its hard to make a judgement. the timing is just a bit strange...
but just to clarify, can you get ARS symptoms earlier (much earlier) or do they always  show after 2 weeks?

No. You have to have an exposure and you didn't.
