At this point all the docs are thinking I am going crazy. You are probably right. Unfortunately it has been just 2 weeks since my last encounter and I can't get tested to get over it. I was almost assured that since it was protected I am safe from HIV but then the following happened on last Friday.

Woke up with a sore throat, nothing extreme but more like an irritation. Then I later during the day I started feeling nasal congestion. Sneezed a multiple times. I started taking DayQuil and Halls to keep my throat from bothering me but the nasal congestion is there. It got better when I slept over the weekend but when I would wake up in the morning I would feel good for a few hours and then the nasal congestion came back. Halls keeps my sore throat in check. There is definitely some mucus/pleghm. I felt tired during the day, but not so much that I can't continue my chores. Just would prefer to sleep.

Today is Monday and I woke up feeling great but then a few hours later the nasal congestion started and I felt a little cold. There  is definitely some irritation in my throat. And I do feel a little tired, I can get by but if my boss didn't mind I'd go home and sleep it a little. The feeling I get it that if I slept for like 8 hours I'd wake up perfectly fine.

Does the above sound like ARS? I was almost convinced it was not HIV after talking to Dr HH last time, please see my last 2 questions and convinced myself I was good and can move on. But then this happened and my mind is spinning again,

I don't plan to have any more escort encounters. The anxiety is not worth it plus I am in a relationship. Can I still move on or is this new information going to change the advice about testing for HIV? I need closure but I can't test since its been only 2 weeks since my last encounter.

I apologize for bugging you but most of us come here because we have no where else to go. I can't discuss this with friends or family and this is the only resort. Hence I very much appreciate the effort 

Your symptoms do not sound at all like ARS, which does not cause sneezingor nasal congestion; and sore throat is rarely if ever the only symptom. These symptoms have nothing to do with your sexual encounter 2 weeks previously. You caught a cold. This information does not change our previous advice.

The reason I'm asking is that even though my relationship is pretty young it's going so good that we both have talked about getting engaged and eventually getting married. I don't see myself as a person who'd cheat on someone I love so is any further testing recommend?

My gf has been tested negative for all std and I am her only partner. She has had no other partners.

What would be your recommendation at this point in terms for hiv risk and testing?

Thank your very much! I'm saying this with as much gratitude as I can muster. You and all others out there are helping people in ways others can't even imagine.

Thanks for the thanks about our services. Best wishes in your new relationship.

While posting the question I noticed that the forum says "asha and partners do not provide medical advice". Though the advice you provided is strictly medical in nature. Though I am content with your advice, the reason I ask is I plan to recommend this site to a quite a lot of people, specially students in university who     Proficient in English and from 3rd world countries and have very little knowledge about these issues and risks. They have not gone through any sexEd classes and instead of getting misinformation from other places I'd rather have them go to a source like yours. Can you please comment on this? I'm not questioning your expertise at all, just making sure I have a response if someone asks me why should I trust this site.

Thanks again for your confidence in our services. Best wishes and stay safe.
