I think I cought the fuck flu... Definitely was not the move to go to an orgy while being off prep. Still haven't had it long but now im too scared to go check.

Remembering my late teens / early twenties: I probably attended every conceivable bareback orgy in 100 mile radios for years back then. PrEP and treatment as prevention weren't a thing back then. Can't count the times I was CERTAIN it was the fuck flu only to get a negative test result afterwards. Turns out with all that ass to mouth, you'll catch some other bugs that cause flu-like symptoms much more easily 🤣 . 

My point is not to say it couldn't be HIV. It certainly could. And you will be fine if it is. My point is just that you shouldn't reach any premature conclusions and you should not worry about something that might not even be the case. As PozToxVersPig said: Get a test and don't worry. You'll be fine.

I did a little reading about this.  ARS "Acute Retroviral Syndrome" is the technical term for "fuck flu."  Like the flu, it isn't the virus itself that causes the symptoms experienced, it's our bodies dramatic immune response that created the symptoms as it tries to fight the virus.

In most cases, if you already have antibodies to the virus, your body may have a milder or no reaction to exposure to the virus.  However, the flu virus (as with HIV) mutates over time and our immune system may not recognize the mutated version of the virus as the same as the previous one, so may trigger a full or milder immune response - or again - it may not.

The "strains" of HIV (technically called "subtypes") do vary from one another but are really specific to geographies.  Now, lots of people travel and I'm sure plenty of us are fucking when we do and if you happy to live in the US, but contracted HIV on another continent, you may have a different Subtype than most North American's.    FWIW, North America's most prevalent "strain" is Subtype B.

You can also get infected with more than one subtype via additional exposure.  This would be what happens when someone "breeds you with their strain."  Assuming they have a viral load and manage to transmit it to you, it's possible then you could have Subtype B in addition to the new Subtype WHATEVER strains.  

Statistically, these cases would be unlikely.  You'd not only have to have a top who was detectable and managed to infect the bottom, but they'd also have to have different Subtypes and the transmission would have to be successful.   If all these things were true, you could end up getting another version of the fuck-flu...but again, that depends on how your body recognizes the new subtype as either similar enough to the current infection or different enough that you get the "fuck flu."  So yes, it could happen and probably does but to your point @PozSir67 it hasn't been studied very much if at all because there simply are not that many occurrences of this worldwide.

If anyone has better information, feel free to share.  This is what I was able to cobble together over several days of lightweight searching and reading.  I personally didn't know that we were Subtype B (or that they were referred to as Subtypes at all, so I learned something!!)

Thanks for this summary.  From my research and knowledge, all of this info is accurate.  I know a young cum dump, who prides himself on taking all loads no matter a man's HIV status.  He first tested HIV positive in November 2024, and he experienced ARS before testing positive.  He has chosen to not to take meds and continues to take cum loads from any guy.  He recently told me that he experienced a second ARS a few months ago.  I agree that experiencing a second ARS is unlikely, but as @PozToxVersPigpoints out as more men travel globally and have sex unprotected sex, I believe we will see more men experiencing multi-ARS events, if they are unmedicated.
