Usually take 22 days for it to show up in blood have a test at 6-8 weeks for a indication if it's negative it is highly unlikely it will change and follow it up with a 3 month test

If one has ARS try usually have high grade fever, rash on chest or trunk, swollen lymph nodes in body not just one place would have it in neck , armpits, groin as well, and HIV doesn't cause itchy skin. You ars synptoms aren't of ARS, seems like you just have a cold

You can take an HIV DUO at 4 weeks and it will be 99.89% accurate.

Those are not ARS symptoms and ARS symptoms do not come on that quick.
