Getitright is correct.

It is also possible for people's inital ARS symptoms to be so vague that they are commonly passed on as a standard cough/cold virus, some barely notice anything at all - this is why a lot of people are not alerted to testing and is a contributing factor to the spread of HIV

Classic ARS symptoms appear 2 to 4 weeks after infection and last for 1 to 2 weeks.Classic ARS symptoms are very high fever,very sore throat and rash on trunk--torso and limbs.Around 50 to 80% of people will present with an ARS rash after infection.Hope this info was useful to you.All the best.
