90% of people with true ARS experience symptoms (at least according to the research I have found from several reputable websites).

The symptoms normally all come together and the most common are as follows:

High Fever of 101.5 F or greater (experienced by 96% of ARS sufferers)
Rash that is very faint, does not itch and appears on chest or stomach normally (70% experience)
Sore throat
Swollen lymph nodes (which only a doctor can tell you if they are swollen)
Fatigue/General Malaise
Diarreah (less common symptom)
Loss of appetite/Nausea

Like Teak said, symptoms are not a reliable indictor.

I had all the symptoms and more 3 weeks post exposure but the Dr ran tests on me and said I had Mono. I tested negative for HIV at 3 weeks.

HIV has no specific symptoms that  are not related to other illnesses.
