Can ARS fever last only for one day?

Can ARS fever last only for one day?

Excatly for 10 hours, from 12pm to 10am the next day, 99.5,  then never come back
BUT AFTER THAT I got bad sore throat, lasting for 8 days.
The fever came at 28th day after the sex. I felt burnt at the 27th day also, but never higher than 99.3

1.Can ARS fever last only for one day?
2.Is 28th day too late for ARS fever breaks? cause The doc says ARS present two to three weeks after HIV primary infection.

Please help!! THANKS A LOT

I never discuss symptoms, HIV has no specific symptoms and not all people that contract HIV have symptoms.

sir, let me clear you. i have a doubt. and the doubt is. you told me that fever, rash are some early symptoms of HIV (i agree they are not specific and compulsory). but, suppose a person who recently contact HIV gets a rash ( as a ARS) and he doesn't take any medicines to control it. and he didn't even went for testing. does that rash go away in 1-2 weeks or it lasts for more duration as he didnt take any medicines

You aren't given treatment for ARS, people aren't even diagnosed with ARS until they have tested positive for HIV and people that are newly infected are not on medications.

1. Common symptoms of ARS ( I meant Common symptoms of acute HIV)
2. There are instances where ARS lasted upto 10 weeks particularly thrush and oral ulcers (ofcourse seen from websites - posted by some medical practitioners)
3. Lympadenopathy may start during acute HIV stage but usually have prolonged period over other common HIV symptoms.

ARS symptoms are only related to HIV.  Acute Retroviral Syndrome.
ARS never lasts 10 weeks.
lympadenopathy may occur during asymptomatic period. Asymptomatic means NO symptoms

ARS occurs between 2 - 4 weeks post exposure and generally last for 2 weeks, but sometimes may persist upto even 10 weeks (rarely). Mild to High fever, head ache, myalgia and rash (maculo papular) are common symptoms of ARS. however some people Thrush may also appear. lympadenopathy may occur during asymptomatic period. but ARS symptoms are never signs of HIV. go and test.
