quick questions please

hi, recently i was over at the body reading some recent posts and came across a guy who said he was infected in jan 09 and didnt test till way later (besides the point) during this months he had ongoing symmptoms and more importantly night sweats on and off for months. i thought night sweats were only attributed to a fever lol. i mean isnt that ars symptoms anyhow to have a fever and then be accompanied by sweats because of fever and not just having night sweats on and off randomly 8 months after he was infected. i know symptoms are never a way to tell but this just struck me weird as i find myself moderatly informed about hiv. thanks hope the senior members can answer for me.

If you did test was it 3 months since the exposure?
If you have not tested then test.

ars symptoms come at 2-4 WEEKS after infection and last for 1-2 WEEKS.

"...may i ask why is it like pulling teeth trying to get an answer on this forum?"

did you come to this forum stating your exposure?  when it happened?  whether or not you had tested?  dont expect us to play 20 questions with you.
