Ars

My risk was 6 weeks ago and I'm stilling having symptoms of ARS. The main one is facial pain in the sinuses area, stuffy nose, and headaches. Are these symptoms of ars? Should I even test I know I'm infected.

ARS if one has it at all come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and lasts 1-2 weeks.

ARS symptoms happen at around 3 weeks and last up to 2 weeks. You MUST have a fever above 38 celcius and most likely a rash and sore throat. Your symptoms sound not even close.

Go get a test at 8 weeks to put your mind at ease

Let me just put this into perspective for a moment. Less than 1% of the entire population has HIV, so that minimises the risk of HIV to a bare minimum. Secondly, do you even know that this girl has HIV? Your "risk" is barely non existant in the first place. And no, to me that just sounds like a sinus infection to me. The only way you can be sure is to test. I am almost certain you will test negative.
