Typically ars symptoms occur on 2-4 weeks post exposure and lasts 1-2 weeks. But you CAN NOT RELY ON THAT. You have to take the test if you had unprotected sex no matter when you had it

We can make a diagnosis here :( The only thing I can sure tell you is that a test now will be accurate and I advice you to take it so you will be aware of your status and that is very important. Go for it! :)

Stay calm until you take the hiv test. If you hadnt had unprotected vaginal or anal sex the last three months you can test immediately and plan your next moves :)
