Is it true that antibody can be detected after ARS?

Experts, I am experiencing ARS that I can't simply ignore. Joint pain, flu, swollen nodes.
People in thebody.com forum said ARS is due to rapid seroconversion where virus is found by your body, and then you develop antibody after the struggle.

So I suppose I can go for a test after the suspected ARS? Even though it's much less than 3 month.

Thx in advance.

Then If I experienced suspected ARS at 3-4 week, am I qualified for a good test?

Does ARS appear before 3rd week and after 4th week?

thx in advance

i've had joint pain, the flu, and swollen nodes and i wasnt experiencing ars.

the only way one can say they had ars is when they get a positive test result.
