ARS headache?

ARS headache?

From the 3.5 week point after my last and only unknown exposure (protected sex), I started to get a headache that has been going on ever since.  I'm currently at the 8.5 week point.  

It feels like a sore pain when i touch the right side of my head, near the temple area. At times it feels like it's throbbing.  At around the 6 week mark, it felt like it was going away, but alas at the 7 week, it came back in full force.  Keep in mind it has never gone away entirely.

Is this a potential ARS symptom?  What are ARS headaches like if one were to have them and is this 5 week long headache too long for ARS?

Thanks

Interesting.  I went to the doctor and talked to him about this a couple days ago.  He wanted to give me a blood test because he thought it warranted a check for some eye condition older people get.  I'm in my late 20s, so he said this was a remote possibility.  

1.  I know this is a HIV related thread, but as my doctor is a GP and a Internal Medicine specialist, should I just stick with him or should I consider giving an ENT specialist a try?
2.  Is exww right on the point about ARS headaches not lasting that long?

I thought you were complaining of headaches? Go to a neurologist if you want to see if you are in the early signs of migraines.
