HIV ARS

Hi all

On 15 of dec , I had unprotected sex ( Vagina ) with a girl , i didnt experience any problem since that day , on  24  i had sex again with same person without protection (xmas day ) ,in the same day at night  I got diarrhea ( watery one ) like crazy and acidness or sourness ( like food coming back to my through when i try to sleep , I went to the doctor and she told me either food poisoning or you got a virus  .
today , I got a little spot on my upper chest like bite or rush its only in one place below my neck ( circle one ) like 3 cm , plus my neck having swollen lymph , i went to dermatologist and he said its either you got herpes or virus , and he start connecting both red spot on my skin with my swollen neck lymph . today is almost 3 weeks .
Is my diarrhea or as the doctor said virus infection that happened to me on xmas day can consider as ARS ( that happened almost after 9 days from having frst encounter on 15 dec)

I will try to wait till 4 week and will do combo test , hope that will be good indicator .

Please advice

Again symptoms have nothing to do with HIV, they are not ARS.

I understand that test is the only proof and can override the symptoms , all I want to say is these are ARS  , specially diarrhea and swollen lymph to be in this period after exposure

Thanks and appreciates your kindness

Symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. A 3 month antibody test will be conclusive.

Use condoms.
