Driving myself crazy

I have had a high risk exposure to HIV and 6 weeks later I developed the following symptoms... swollen glands, fever, a 1 inch rash on my wrist under where a bracelet was, coughing up heavy mucus runny nose at the beginning and diahhera.   I know it is said that these symptoms are too late as i have been told in previous posts but in what situation have people reported to actually get ars at 6 weeks later?   Should i be worried about this or take my 4 week negative test and live with that?

3 month post exposure is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result.

what you need to do is test 6-8 weeks and live with it... 4 weeks is average and go ahead and test on the 6th week... and get the negative result. GOOD LUCK

ARS symptoms are unreliable indicators... the hardest part is to Wait... u will be ok... just hang with friends and family...
