greetings. i had protected sex using a latex condom with a hooker on 1 september. the condom didnt break according to my observation but the girl bled and she claimed that she was on her period. 2 weeks later i used to pass loose stool once a day and it was VERY mild. i also felt slight joint pains for about 4 days and a very slight headache.didnt have rash and as far as i'm concerned i never felt feverish and didnt sweat at night.i also had a stiff neck on one side but i figured i might hav not been laying on the bed properly.i did not however feel any lumps either on my neck or in my armpits.i also had a dry throat (not quite sure if it was throt or upper mouth just before the throat.my throat was not painful however). i was tested at 18 day (antibody test) and it came out negative. i also once felt a burning senstion on my chest at around 4 weeks. all this time i've been conscious of HIV and doing a lot of research on the internet. i have no mouth ulcers, have always has appetite and never nauseated. my questions are
1. can fever be detected without use of a thermometer.
2. is a dry throat equivalent to sore throat
3. are these symptoms INDICATIVE of ARS
4. is my test at 3 week dependable in that I dont have HIV
5. is burning sensation on chest indicative of incoming rash

ARS symptoms?.
