Symptoms

[Vernod]

Is it possible for ARS symptoms to start 5 days after a potential exposure?  Especially if one was not well during the exposure, lack of sleep, and general lower immunity?

I have been having non-stop pressure behind the eyes as well as sore throat, back aches, joint aches.  Pressure behind eyes is not really painful - just not pleasant - and going on for two days now.  Would an HIV related headache be painful like a normal headache?  Its just the weirdest feeling - almost like congestion in the sinus, but I have no congestion!

I was really hoping this question/post was answered. :( I'm a 32 yo female experiencing the same things, along with very mild night sweats, but it's only been about 3 weeks after last possible exposure. Can anyone answer this???
