Acute HIV after 5.5 weeks?

Acute HIV after 5.5 weeks?

I had an anonymous encounter with a man 5 and a half weeks ago and the condom broke. Now I'm getting many symptoms of Acute HIV--they started 40 days after the possible exposure. Is that too late for Acute HIV to set in? I'm going to get tested anyways at 3 months but I want to know if I should be very worried in the meantime. Or if I should get a test sooner too. If I have Acute HIV does that mean it won't show up in a rapid test? thank you.

What is actute HIV?  How on earth would that differ from "regular" HIV?

Are you sure you don't have the flu or anxiety?

Get tested at eight weeks, believe the negative test result and more on?

symptoms starting at 40 days are not indicative of ARS.  

a test at 6-8 weeks will give you a good indication of your status...BUT...ACCORDING TO GUIDELINES SET BY THE CDC. FDA, AND THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TEST...A CONLCUSIVE RESULT IS AT 3 MONTHS.
