Fever, Cough, runny nose possible ARS?

[fishribbon]

After 8 days from potential exposure I experience:
All began with discomfort in nasal Cavity, after a day nose began to get runny and with wattery secretions, also being congested, temperature: 37- 37,2 Celsius for about 2 days, no sore throat, no rash no muscle pain or arthralgia, slight cough. Is it possible to be ARS manifestations?

That is one chance in 100 the women had HIV

Symptoms are not relevant, the nature of exposure is? If you had unprotected intercourse you want to get tested at 3 months. Assuming you are a male who had unprotected vaginal intercourse the odds are very small that you caught. If the women was a sex worker, give it one chance in 100 and actual intercourse without a condom at 1 chance in 1000 - your odds are 1/100,000 - pretty good odds, but still worth a test at 3 months.

The runny nose thing, asked the question myself on the forum and was told that ars does not cause this. To have a real fever it needs to over 100 degrees in most cases.

Is it possible in 8 days postexp to appear symp of ARS?
Isn't runny nose an excluding symptom?
What is the range of possible temperatures in ARS?

Nasal secretions is inconsistent with ars. 37 is close to 98.6, a normal temperature. What is of greater importance is the exposure which causes you to worry about ars?
