Question: Hi Doctor,

Your symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV. It is due to dyspepsia. Not to worry. You need no HIV test.

Your HIV risk is almost nil.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Body to body massage without underwear poses a negligible risk for HIV infection as per CDC, XXXXXXX United States of XXXXXXX ARS syndrome in HIV is a older term, not in use nowadays.
Earliest manifestations of HIV can occur only after 3-4 weeks after the exposure, in the presence of an infection. That too, fever and body pain are the common presentation in acute HIV infection (occur with 50-70%, not with all).
You had no risk for HIV. So nothing to worry.
