Duration of HIV symptoms

I have had HIV symptoms two weeks after exposure such as night sweats joint pain and a rash on my groin. Since then it's has been nearly 6 weeks after infection and 4 weeks after initial symptoms currently I have a pink rash on my chest pain the lymph nodes on my groin and I still have night sweats . My question is is it possible to have HIV symptoms for 4 weeks ?and also is it likely for symptoms to appear 5 to 6 weeks after exposure ? Any help will go a long way

Sorry to bother you again if my symptoms persist until next week it will be 7 weeks since exposure how likey is this in regards to HIV symptoms? Have there been cases in which symptoms last longer than 2 weeks?

Night sweats don't come and go.  If one has ARS all the symptoms come all at once and leave all at once.

So in typical ars symptoms even night sweats won't even last over 3 weeks on and off? Do all symptoms come at once or different times? I have read its possible to have symptoms after 6 weeks is that false... Thank you for your help.

Those aren't ARS symptoms. If one has ARS symptoms they come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and last 1-2 weeks.
