Nausea and ARS
      #176780 - 02/23/06 02:26 PM

Ok quick question. I had a fever of 99.6 and i was feeling nauseous. Here is the thing. I only felt nauseous when I was actually eating. not during any other time. My appetite was nearly gone and i could not eat a lot at all. I would start to feel sick when i was eating and have to stop. is that consistent with Nausea due to ARS?

I had unprotected vaginal sex with a woman of unknown status. i got the fever and nausea about 4 weeks post exposure, thanks guys.

you cant go by symptoms......wait atleast 12-13 weeks after last exposure, and get tested.

I have to agree, this would have to be some of the best advice also try not to think of it too much try to preoccupy your mind with other things if you worry too much that's when notice all these symptoms that really might not even mean anything. Just get tested best way to be certain.

It could be.. Then again it might not be is all the posters are telling you.

You had unprotected sex. Your at risk no matter how you look at this.. Your reality is to be tested when you want to know what the answer truly is.. 13...

hi

regards from india

i doubt 99.6 is considered as fever. Symptoms are no way to diagnose HIV. Only a HIV test can give the answer you seek.

Unprotected sex does place you at risk, however the ODDS are in your favour of not having contracted HIV. HIV is a hard virus to transmit, moreover it is quite difficult to transmit from a female to a male.

Having said that HIV testing is warrented and a 12 week test should suffice.

Goodluck

--------------------
Take Care

God Bless you

Stay Well

Love Ravi

Nausea is a very very veery common ailment for every human being on earth...most of whom are NOT experiencing ARS. There is a HORRIBLE stomach flu going around where I am from right now. You can NOT assume nausea is ARS. You really can't assume ANYTHING is ARS related. Test...find peace. God Bless.
