Symptoms?

Hello everyone, let me get straight to the point. I came here for information i did not necessarily know, not to be told that a 3 month test will be give conclusive results. My questions:

1. Is a dry/non productive cough a sign of ARS (more than a month) did not go away with 2 antibiotic courses

2. Is sinus infection (persistent) a sign of ARS? Especially one lasting longer than a month, and does not clear up with antibiotics.

My risk was unprotected sex with CSW of unknown status, can someone please answer my questions?

Thank you very much, you seem to be a prominent figure on this forum so i appreciate your information. However i have heard about a dry cough being a sign of ARS, is it just that the cough doesnt last longer than a month, or that it is productive? The only reason i remain worried is because my sinus infections have not gone away with anitbiotics, however i can be sure that this is not due to ars? I will be taking a test at 12 weeks for a conclusive result. If you could clear up my misconceptions before i leave i would be very greatful.
