Is this ars? I'm uncircumcised.
My exposure was receiving a blow job until I cummed in the girls mouth. I am uncircumcised which I heard increases my risk a lot. 7 weeks later I developed a fever and started to have a presistant cough that won't go away from over the counter medicines. I read online this is typical ars but some say no. I am confused. The girl I did this with is part of a high risk group as well. Can anyone help educate me? Thank you very much. Appreciated.
Oral sex is NOT a risk for HIV so there is no way your symptoms have ANYTHING to do with ARS.
Oral sex IS a risk for other STD's and I would recommend you have an STD panel done.

Thanks ruby, I will do std test when I have off from work next month if I can find a free clinic. If I use a condom next time for a blow job or sex in general, then get sick 2 months later, do I have to be scared it is ars? I always freak out when I get sick and think it could be something I missed during sexual activities. The people online and cdc always say condoms are not 100 protective but even if there is a 10% chance hiv passes through the condom I will freak out. Sorry for being weird, just weird when you start coughing up mocus with a fever randomly after oral sex a couple weeks later. I keep seeing crazy window periods and are can happen anytime 2 weeks to 2 and a half months and symptoms could be anything from cough to rash.
You never had a risk for HIV and if you use a condom for all INSERTIVE VAGINAL sex in the future, you won't ever have to worry about HIV in the future. Oral sex, remember, is NOT a risk for HIV but IS a risk for STD's.
If you get sick in two months or 6 months, you can be absolutely positive it's not ARS.
If you use a condom during a blow job, both you and your partner are protected.
Stop reading the crap on the symptom sites! If you keep reading all that **** they'll have you believing you get HIV from eating watermelons! If you have a question, come to us!
You do NOT have HIV. You should have an STD panel done as soon as you can. ALWAYS USE A CONDOM! ALWAYS PLAY SAFE!
