Hiv Ars symptoms

I had a risky enounter with a person of unknown status on the 13th of july unprotected oral sex and vaginal I developed a mild sore throat about 5 days later, would anybody say that this could be related to hiv or is it too soon for such symptoms to show? I visited my local clinc the day after and im booked in for for full check up on the 26th they said that i would find out pretty quickly regarding the most common stis but would have to wait for the hiv status. Im very concerned about my actions and this has changed how i will approach life in the future for sure.

A test 3 months post exposure will give you a conclusive(if negative) result. Symptoms of ARS generally come about 2-4 weeks after infection and usually last a week or 2. And they will ALL come at once,not one at a time and not just a sore throat. Hope this helps.
