HIV

I had m2m sex 10 weeks ago...i put in my penis 2 times without condom but after all i decided not to continue for the penetration..and i had unprotected oral sex as well..i had protected anal sex...now i realise my submental lymph node is enlarge and also one side of my cervical node.i know enlargemnet of lymph node cant be used as one of condition to diagnose HIV infection....i not sure whether i had fever...6 weeks after the sex the hiv antibody test is negative... i just had arthralgia/myagia for around 7 days normally during the night plus discomfort of stomach...there is no nausea and vomiting as well...one day before arthralgia i go for a swim...there is no weight loss,sore throat...but i had a little cough for quite long period of time...and i know i should retest the hiv antibody in 3 and 6 months...this is my following questions:
1.is the fever in ARS intermittent or continuation for days to weeks?
2.how the rash in ARS look like?is localised or generalised?
3.Is ARS possible after 10 weeks of exposure?as i know the ARS normally occur within 3-6 weeks post exposure

1.is the fever in ARS intermittent or continuation for days to weeks? varies person to person ars can not be diagnosed by symptoms. 70% will experience high fever, sore throat, and rash

2.how the rash in ARS look like?is localized or generalized? either everyone reacts differently

3.Is ARS possible after 10 weeks of exposure?as i know the ARS normally occur within 3-6 weeks post exposure - not likely 3 - 6 week like you stated

the only reliable way to rule out hiv is to test. 6 - 8 weeks 90% will test positive. 6 week negative is very reliable 90 days/ 3 months is conclusive. 6 months is out dated.
