Hello Just to claify: 4th geneation HIV assays check for HIV antibdies and HIV P24 antigen, but not viral DNA, as viral DNA is checked by PCR test.

Hi Everyone I have a question about the average time frame from initial exposure to HIV to the ARS illness. Is it possible to develop the flulike illness 4-5 days after exposure? Or is that too soon??? Is it more likely to happen a little later? Please help folks, any advise is appreciated.

Sep 08 oral sex 20 Oct catch cold (runny nose, sneezing, mocous drainage) 17 Nov feel tired, yawning alot 24 Nov break out with dry rash on back (only in the middle from top to bottom) I feel good when waking up in the morning, then about 3 or 4pm, i start to yawn, then about 7 or 8pm, i feel fully alert again. 1. Can ARS skip that far apart or does it all come at the same time? 2. What is the normal timeline for ARS if you do get it? 3.

Hook 2 weeks ago, this was a low risk exposure with virtually no chance of catching HIV -- even if your massage parlor partner had HIV, which almost certainly she did not. To our knowledge, nobody has been known to catch HIV through cunnilingus and you aren't going to be the first. First, the reassurance: You correctly read that symptoms are not reliable in judging whether or not someone has HIV. Therefore, your current symptoms do not change the advice you received from Dr. Hook.

If you cannot have HIV, your rash cannot be due to HIV. How much more strongly can I say it?? See a health care provider to find out what else it might be. This is my last response.

I have had vaginal itching in different areas for 2 days followed by frequent and urgent but not painful urination (have problems with UTIs and this is different). I haven't gotten any bumps or rash or redding of the skin yet, but I imagine they are coming. What is the timeline on developing lesions from the initial itching stage? Also, what is the liklihood of getting meningitis or some other complication? Please help.

A week after the encounter, I visited my local std specialist in the USA who administered a Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test, both of which turned out to be negative. He did however advise I wait to take an HIV, HIV2 and Herpes test until at least 6 weeks after the encounter.

My friend offered to get tested and was positive for HSV1 (she had not had cold sores in more than a year), negative for HSV2, HIV, all of the HEPs and infections included in the PAP smear. I tested allowing 12 weeks to pass from my initial episode Herpesselect IGG positive (4.11)for HSV1 and negative for HSV2 (.22) and the Heps (non-reactive). I didn't test for HIV.

In fact I considered the idea of maybe having shingles.. I would get random hives/ rashes . I started supressive therapy in August 2010 (valtrex) . The only symptoms I have gotten other than the "flee bite" is a small itchy patch of skin near my thumb I scratch it and 2 blisters formed...maybe just from friction... but Im just have a feeling that this is not hsv 2.. and that is something in my blood that is making these test falsely positive.

#1. does this sound like ARS? #2. Do I need to worry HIV from this incident? #3. When to test if yes?

I have never had any symptoms of a sexual infection; no sores, no rashes, no chancres, no pain while urinating. My wife is approximately 9 weeks pregnant, and had a blood test last week. The test came back as positive for syphilis, though the clinic told her that false-positives are fairly common in pregnancy. She will be retested this week. My questions: ------------ In May, I had a complete physical, including bloodwork, which all came back negative.

The article (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/211873-overview ) also gives a rough timeline of the different stages of HIV infection. Day 0: A person is infected with the HIV virus.

The symptoms are improving quite a bit, which somewhat bothers me since it all appears to be in the timeline of ARS. If anyone could look at the rash, or tell me whether it sounds like an ARS rash, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've tested several times but I know it cannot be considered conclusive until 3 months.

He did however advise I wait to take an HIV, HIV2 and Herpes test until at least 6 weeks after the encounter. Although he assured me that by then the accuracy HIV test would be in the 99 percentile (still recommending a follow up a few weeks hereafter), if there are no visible Herpes symptoms present the antibody testing from a blood sample at that point would yield only a 70-90% accurate diagnosis.

My concern is that sometime either during the relationship or after bf adn I broke up, I got a rash on my chest. I recall it itching, being given a prescription and it cleared right up. I cannot remember the timeline when I got it. It could have been anytime. I have a tendency to get hives. BF and I were together for almost 3 months, both in mid 20's. In the past 12.5 years, I don't recall any symptoms except that possible rash and severe anxiety.

I know you would say my exposure was no risk from reading other posts, and I was willing to let it go, but now that I've developed a rash just over 2 1/2 weeks post possible exposure I'm really losing it! My possible exposure was about 2 1/2 weeks ago when I was out in front of my house and a guy introduced himself to me and shook my hand. Afterwards I checked my hand for any cuts and sure enough on the back of my hand where the guy's thumb pressed, I have three small cuts.

This all came about since I had a sexual experience by which I believe I have contracted HIV. All the evidence is pointing that way as far as seroconversion but my hiv tests come back negative. I find it highly unlikely that I have anything else since my illness coincides with the sexual episode. Unfortunately, no other doctors take me seriously because when I tell them of my medication, they think its all in my head.

Could anyone please confirm these things: 1. Correct me if I am wrong: Is it right to assume that if I am not bleeding actively during kissing, I do not have any risk of hiv infection from kissing. I mean even if I have inflamed, swollen and reddish gums on tooth edges but nno active bleeding going on from there. 2. Also, I need to confirm 1 more thing which I think might sound stupid. I have read in the past as well that saliva de-activated hiv virus.

The chest area starts itching - upon itching, rash appears - once rash appears, the rash is non-itchy ii. no itching in chest area - rash appears out of nowhere - it is: a. flat b. non-itchy c. pink/red b. how long does it last? c. does it move from one spot on chest to another? d. Is it flat or raised? 2. ARS related FLU: a. is there any way to differentiate a flu from cold or allergy b. is runny nose a symptom of flu c.

If i have definatly been exposed to the HIV virus and i am experiencing all the symptoms of acute HIV syndrome exactly and according to the timeline most doctors provided....is there any chance i still wont end up having HIV for the rest of my life?? i have never tested positive but i was exposed to the virus about 2 months ago. i am also infected with herpes and had a open sore at the time of contact. after 16 hours i was put on PEPs. my symptoms include.....

Please tell me whether my exposure was high risk, and please tell me whether you believe that my symptoms (based on timeline) are consistent with primary HIV infection. In other words, should I be worried? Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Below are the timelines for my EIA Antibody HIV Test for HIV/1 and HIV/2. 3 Weeks - DNA/PCR and EIA for HIV/1 and HIV/2 - Non Reactive 6 Weeks - EIA for HIV/1 and HIV/2 - Non Reactive (Blood Test) 10 Weeks - EIA for HIV/1 and HIV/2 - Non Reactive (Blood Test) 4 Months and 3 Weeks - EIA for HIV/1 and HIV/2 - Non Reactive (Blood Test) Are my results conclusive? Could I be a late seroconvertor?

Doesn Hep B really mimc HIV symptoms like candida rashes sinus sorethroat?

Something other than HIV is the cause of your rash-- and it doesn't sound like an HIV rash anyway. And no, it is not possible for HIV to cause a rash as the only symptom. "I know my risk was very low but can I be certain it was a NO RISK?" Yes, of course. If HIV could be transmitted by shaking hands, it would be 100 times more common than it is and it wouldn't be considered an STD. "I'm just so so scared.

There simply are no symptoms that point exclusively to HIV. Every symptom of HIV occurs much more commonly with other things. The best thing you can do for your mental health is to immediately stop reading websites for HIV symptoms.

Just curious if continual vaginal dishcharge kind of bloody with horrible smell, abdominal cramps, are common symptoms of hiv. I have also been have popping in my ears, loud precise sounds also. Got my ears checked and they are perfect. I have tenderness in my breast also. I have appointments scheduled but not for a week and that is two different places.

Does the labcorp ICMA test detect HIV-2 in early exposure as effective as HIV-1? Should I go get a HIV-1 again AND a HIV-2 PCR test from labcorp? I'm to the point where money doesn't matter. I want my life back. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
