Fever - HIV Prevention Message Board

When I went to get tested about 10-12 weeks after my exposure, my temp was 99 degrees. The doc said not worry that it was not a fever until 99.5. Could I have been in ARS? I felt fine. It was August and very warm out and it was at the end of the day at work. I was also very stressed about the test? Can anybody help. My results were negative by the way.

Dude.....the standard temperature for a human being has been revised in the past few years. Studies show that the average temperatue for human beings can vary from 98.5 - 99.1 degress. So listen to the doc, he knows what he is talking about.

you are for sure fine. there are many things that affect a persons body temperature. If you take your temperature later in the day for example it will be higher than when you wake up. Im sort of a hypochondriac but this is what is scientifically proven.
