Symptoms?
Are the following symptoms in any way related to ARS?
Sudden extreme dizziness (as if you had spun in circles then stopped). This came on all at once, followed/accompanied by nausea. Claminess, vomitting, very strong headache and neckache.
Had to get fluids and meds at ER. Almost 24 hours later, still nauseas, a little dizzy with headache. All this occured all at once (never happened before), was very violent and happened 2 weeks after protected (condom) sex with condom.
I know there is no risk with the encounter I described, but are the symptoms typical for ARS in any way? I've never dealt with this and I stuck in bed freaked out.

Is meningitis or migraines for an extended period of time with a stiff painful neck considered part of ARS symptoms?
Hi,
No risk = No ARS. There may be hundreds of potential causes, HIV is not one of them.
