ARS For 7 Weeks?

Can ARS symptom last for 7 weeks?

I have had muscle, joint and head aches on a daily basis for that long. If they were related to HIV, could it be possible to have for that long?

They started 6 weeks after possible exposure.

Teak is right. Given the timings and symptoms either EBV or CMV mononucleosis would be much more likely, their incubation period is longer than HIV. Taking a monospot test might be a good idea.

No, ARS doesn't start that late nor does it last that long.
