No ARS, does it mean no HIV?

I performed unprotected oral sex on a transexual (a shemale with penis) escort. Just 3-4 sucks. She did not cum. This happened about two months ago. I have had absolutely no symptoms since then. No fever, rashes or muscle pain. Fatigue is there, but I beleive it has more to do with my intense anxiety. What are my chances of getting HIV? I do have gingivitis and bad gums.
If I don't have ARS in two months, does it mean I am out of the woods? Are there cases where people have been tested positive without any ARS symptoms at all?

Your activity is considered low risk. Not everyone experiences ARS. The only way to get HIV/AIDS is to come into contact (meaning it comes into contact with your blood stream) with semen, vaginal secretions and blood. If this person didn't cum in your mouth, that means your risk is probably nill! Understand this now, not everyone experiences ARS. Symptoms mean nothing. If you're worried, go get a test at 90 days, but I honestly think you have nothing to worry about. You're just fine! And for christs sake, use a condom!!

Thank you so much for the reply. I am concerned to hear that not everyone experiences ARS. In the John Hopkins website, I read 50% and possibly upto 90% experience some type of symptoms after the initial exposure. Of course, after this initial symptoms they may enter into asymptomatic phase. I was trying to feel comfortable with the fact that I have no symptoms..Should I really wait for the testing to do the final WOO-HOO?

That's a decision only you can make. If it were me, I wouldn't even worry about being tested, seeing as you never came into contact with blood or sexual fluids. I haven't ever seen the John Hopkins study, but it wouldn't suprise me if that information was true. All I'm saying is that based off of what I was told, not everyone expeirences symptoms. Peoples minds can play horrible tricks on them causing them to think they have symptoms when they don't. This is the case with fear of any disease or infection. I think that if you get tested, just do it for peace of mind. Other than that, I don't see a real need for it. Best of luck to you and hugs!
