ARS symptoms appear 2 to 4 weeks after infection.The 3 classic ARS symptoms are very high fever,very sore throat and rash on trunk--torso and limbs,however Lizzie Lou has given you the best advice and that is that testing is the only way to establish one,s Hiv status.AT 3 months post-exposure you can obtain your conclusive result.All the best.

symptoms dont diagnose hiv...only a test at the appropriate time will tell one's status.

at 6-8 weeks post exposure, you can get a very good indication of your status.  follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result.
