HIV SYMPTONS

Please, I wish you could answer just this question and don't talk about old questions I did here.

I herd that HIV SYMPTONS more often happen between 2 and 4 weeks after the exposure. Is it correct? After 5 weeks the SYMPTONS you have probably is due to anything else?

At this moment I have the flu. Yesterday I was fever and now my trhoat is hurting.

If I test in this situation the odds of a false positive is higher?

Thank you

Most of the research I've done indicate 2 to 4 weeks, some say 1 to 3 weeks. The best you can do is look up CDC, that will be the most reliable. If you think you may have been exposed, the best thing, get tested.
