ARS appear 2-4 weeks after the exposure and remain there for 1-2 weeks. 2 days is too early.

How sure of this are you ? The possible exposure happened Friday morning around 3:30am , Saturday afternoon I developed the symptoms , Sunday I stayed in bed all day because i felt horrible ... Today all I have is a sore throat and a slight headache .... I'm not questioning your knowledge I am just very worried about the issue . Please advise .

In addition, I forgot to mention that Gonorrhea might cause these symptoms 2 to 14 days after infection... but the odds of this are very low because this happens in cases of disseminated Gonococcal infection which only occurs in 1% of men and women.

There's a higher likelihood you are experiencing simple flu symptoms and nothing more though.

Unlikely.

HIV symptoms appearing 2 days after potential exposure is way too soon for symptoms to manifest.

This more seems like a simple flu.

If you are worried about potential STD's, go do a bacterial STD checkup in 5 days (except for Syphilis, because for that you would have to wait 6 weeks after potential exposure).
