Ars?

I maybe had a risk 4 weeks ago.  Exactly one month after this, I now have a canker sore...Can ARS occur 4 weeks past exposure?  Can ars shows up only with a canker sore and nothing else?  Thank You

This might sound stupid, but here's my story.  To celebrate the end of the semester in may, me and my friend went to a little bar to take a few booze.  I don't have a big tolerance to alcohol, so I ended up my night not remembering anything, and just woke up in the morning with a little hangover.  The problem is, in the morning I just remembered that I dreamed of seeing 2 syringe on the floor across a building, but this is just unclear in my head.  I'm feared that maybe I saw those things while I was drunk. The other thing us that when I woke up, I saw this on my arm : http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y91/therocket81/photo-4.jpg

As I said before, this might sound stupid, but I'm not sure if maybe I took IV drugs while I was knocked out by alcohol.....  I'm not the type of person who takes drugs, I'm not a smoker, and I even didn't smoke a joint in my life...  I'm just lost with that night and have difficulty to sleep since that moment...

Certainly not, ARS symptom don't come and go in progression, they come all at once and go at once. Very high fever and rash being the prominent ones. Honestly speaking, your symptom is very unspecific to HIV and if you really were going through ARS, you would have been recuperating at the ER and not browsing the internet searching for "ARS Symtoms"
