If you had a blood drawn test at 6 weeks and it was negative, that is a good indication of your status......but it is not conclusive until 12 weeks.
Symptoms are NEVER used to diagnose HIV.
If you had ARS, you would know it.
You can test again at 8 weeks for further peace of mind until you receive your conclusive results at 12 weeks.
I wish you the best
