ASR symptoms time frame

Is there a specifc time frame from protential exposure that ASR symptoms occurs?  I have read that if you do have ASR symptoms that they usually show between 2-4 weeks after potential infection date.  Would it be possible to have ASR symptoms around 8 weeks after potential infection or do the symptoms usually show up fast, if they do show at all?

Yes 8 weeks is to late for ARS.

I was tested; however, it was only after 2-3 weeks after possible infection (probably a waste of a test).  I plan on getting tested again in early June.  Right now, I am about 8 weeks from possible infection date.  I was going to wait until June to make sure I have a full 3 months to be certain of test results.  My question was regarding the time frame of ASR symptoms (if they do occur at all).  Is 8 weeks usually out of the ASR window?  I understand that one could be infected and never have ASR symptoms; however, starting yesterday, I began to have a slight sore throat along with body (muscle) aches.  I do not have a fever.

No and you don't need symptoms to be infected. You were told that you needed to test and when to test back in March.
