ARS symptoms? What are they like?
      #265583 - 08/18/12 04:46 PM

Most know what they are, but what are they like? How long is the fever? Are most of your lymph nodes swollen, or could it just be ones in your armpit for example? Is the body aches bad and noticeable or are they small? Are there any respitoary symptoms? Fatigue, is it bad, like really bad? Rash, does it normally occur with a fever? Can ARS occur 6-8 weeks later instead of 2-4? I've heard usually who have symptoms 6-8 weeks later are like people who are hospitalized or something like that, you know not your average person. Please answer these questions, thank you.

You know, for someone that had protected sex you sure ask a lot of questions. There is never a reason to focus on symptoms because HIV has nonspecific symptoms, meaning they are the same sysmptoms seen in 100's of diseases and conditions.

What you need to be concerned about is the level of risk you may have had. In your case protected sex is not a reason to be so concerned that you feel the need torun and test in the first place.

Do yourself a favor. Find something worth getting woried about. HIV isn'T a concern for you.

Im just worried though! There was blood on my condom, I had a scabbed cut on my finger, and I have gingivitis. 8 weeks later I have like extremely faint red patches on my legs. Is the rash like raised? Would it show up this late? I know I'm overreacting..Im just do afraid of catching HIV after discovering all these symptoms. Would the rash be noticeable? I have hairy legs
