Ars timeline

Hi i know HIV can't be diagnosed using symptoms though I am curious concerning the ars timeline. Some sites say 2-6 weeks others 2-4. Is it rare to get the ars 5-6 weeks or are they just covering every base? I red it's even rare at 4 weeks as it generally starts 14-21 days. What's the truth and is there links where I can get the proper truth on HIV? I'd like to educate myself on this disease though my city don't have a STD educational courses they are part of a wider higher education in medicine.

2-4 weeks, with symptoms lasting 1-2 weeks.  Remember that those figures are estimates, so of course, occasionally you would see people present with symptoms slightly outside the "norm", but the variations wouldn't be significant.
