Sex with African CSW

Hi all,

I am pretty worried, and counting down the days until I can get tested.  I had unprotected anal and vaginal sex with a female african CSW.

I understand you don't talk about symptoms, but 4 days after the encounter I developed a fever, sore throat and stiff muscles.  

I know that I will have to wait atleast 4 weeks before my first test, but I am going out of my mind with worry with regards to the above symptoms. All I would like to know is whether it's possible to get ARS within 4-5 days of exposure?  

Thanks in advance.

If one has ARS the symptoms come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and last 1-2 weeks.
