Mixed testing result

If someone tested 2 days after a possible exposure (first in total and Protected vag/oral) and got reactive results, but the lab said the re-testing confirmation was negative, should someone place more faith in the negative as opposed to the initial result? Not totally convinced it could be a false positive.

Can ARS (fever, diarrhea, mild muscle soreness) appear 4-5 days after?
