Hi doctor handsfield hope all is well  my question is   back in 2015   6 years back I had an exposure not knowing it was protected vaginal sex or not because I had few drinks and room was dark  but according to the Chinese csw in Guangzhou she used a condom and threw the condom and the packaging into the toilet flush  I Had doubt why did she do that  but never thought of it anyways   3 weeks after that  I had fever  for 5 days   went to the doctor  and doctor did some test and found it it was mild typhoid  parathype so he gave me antibiotics and 5 days later I was fine   fever was ky only symptoms  and 2 years later I developed a rash on my chest and stomach  doctor said  it was allergic not viral  cause it went away in 4 days  but now  I started to developed recurring boils  and my wife also keeps on puking  in the morning  also she had rash also few weeks after my exposure but on the thighs  but no fever.

Thanks for. Your fast reply doctor hook  but is it common to have fever only during ars lasting for 5 days  also without meds 6 years would people with HIV have severe symptoms  and is recurring boils symptoms of HIV because I read that boils are weakend immune symptoms such as HIV. Thanks  and I forgot to mention few years after the exposure I had diareah to  but it all occurs in different timings  thanks

As I said, the ARS is a syndrome with multiple symptoms and solitary fever is not considered ARS.  The symptoms of the ARS typically occur simultaneously. Most typically it takes more than 5-6 years after infection to develop the severe illnesses that are characteristic of advanced HIV/AIDS. ---

Thankyou for your reassuring reply dr hook
