Is it possible, when someone does experience ARS, to have no other symptoms then swollen lymph nodes? After some frottaging of the anus, my situation was that I basically attempted brief, no more then 1 inch of insertion (maybe a little more, maybe a little), of unprotected anal sex as I was the insertive partner. It also only lasted 5 seconds if that. My partner would say "ouch!" and would tell me to stop and I then would. My partner had sex one time in his life and it was protected and the condom did not break. Other then that girl I stated he had sex with, I was his only other partner even though we are both males. He has had NO OTHER SEX PARTNERS in his entire life other then me which we have experimented for 3 years and that girl he had PROTECTED sex with one time. We are both 17 and so is the girl he had sex with.[br>[br>2 weeks later I experienced slight muscle pain and aches but I'm an athlete and I also had a soft stool but not diarrhea. I believe diarrhea is considered three or more times of watery stools containing mucous in one day. I did not have that. When I went, it was just soft.[br>[br>I had not experienced any fever or any rash but I did experience respiratory issues such as post nasal drip, stuffy nose and a slight, slight sore throat. The drip is still here today but the sore throat is gone and I still have soft stools. I understand respiratory symptoms such as post-nasal drip and a stuffy nose is not ARS related. [br>[br>The thing that concerns me is my swollen lymph nodes in my groin and neck. The one is my neck just went down after about a week and a half of swelling, maybe two weeks where it WAS noticeable through a mirror if I looked up at the ceiling and the ones in my groin I just recognized. I am very skinny though nearly 130 pounds and 6'0 ft (I know I, should eat a donut or something) I have one on each side of my groin, maybe two on each side, in the same spot and they are about the size of a pea. [br>[br>When one does experience ARS, which I do understand many DO NOT and symptoms don't mean anything for HIV ARS, are swollen lymph nodes alone with NO FEVER and NO RASH a good indication that it's not HIV related for what I'm experiencing? I basically only had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for almost three weeks now but it went down a lot and the two or four possibly in my groin I just realized today for as a symptom and at no point did I ever feel sick through my exposure a month ago. I just felt like I would if my allergies were bothering me a little. [br>[br>Is this possible for ARS to occur without fever and without a rash and just swollen lymph nodes? I am a worry wort, I keep telling myself I'm ok but I just panic and I feel like as others said I should not have a reason to test for the circumstances while others say test, but I feel like I would develop AIDS within a year and etc if I was positive and I think I would be the small percentage that have AIDS developed within 4 years of infection, maybe less. I know a test is the only way to know my status but I would appreciate it if you could tell me my risk and answer my question regarding the symptoms. I would prefer not to test if you believe I don't have a need to. I know this site has many trained HIV experts and or people who know a lot about the disease itself.[br>[br>Thanks:)
