Very high fevers are the most common ARS symptom and anyone can get gingivitis.If you have had a risk I suggest you just test and not be to concerned about symptoms.

Ok and what about gingivitis does it take place in the early stage (1st month) or later, so from your post i can get that most of the people infected usually have high fevers within the  1st month and red rash etc

It's not 90%,but alot of recently infected people will have very high fevers as the most common symptom.However,because symptoms won't diagnose HIV,you can never rely on them as a way of establishing whether you are infected or not.Only an HIV test can tell you that.

Not everyone who becomes infected with HIV will have symptoms but if one were to have symptoms they would appear at around 2 to 4 weeks after infection and they would include 1.very high fevers 2 .very sore throat 3.red rash on the trunk--torso and limbs.
