Varying fever- ARS?

Hi guys,

Is varying fever a sign of ARS. About two days ago, I kinda had high temperature for about an hour. Then felt normal during the night. Then again, last night, developed high temperature before sleeping and felt normal when I woke up today. Again, now I have high temperature. I don't have signs of fatigue.

Is this a sign of ARS. Does ARS fever come up like this?

Feeling feverish and actually having a high fever are totally different. Unless you have confirmation with a thermometer that you have a high temp then you're just making assumptions. Regardless, you are still not going to be diagnosed from symptoms and only an HIV test 3 months after exposure will tell you for sure of you have HIV. Until then, it's worthless to engage in symptom chasing, which is what you are doing, because it will get you nowhere and won't confirm anything.

3 months post exposure is when you can get your conclusive test results.

err.. I don't have a thermometer. But I feel hot... I'm not normal. I can say that. It's not to the point that I have a headache or need to sleep or something..

But I feel feverish...It's keeps alternating between normal and feverish throughout the day..

Did you actually take your temp with a thermometer or are you just assuming you have a fever? How high of a fever are you talking about, what was the number on the thermometer?
