Possible ARS symptom?

Hi. I have been experiencing a low-grade fever with runny nose 10 weeks after my possible exposure. I have to mention that my runny nose had been present for at least 3 weeks now accompanied by a cough with phlegm but the cough was gone 2 weeks before my low-grade fever. Could this be a sign of ARS? Thanks.

You never had an exposure.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Just another additional question. Do you think those symptoms are ARS related? Mild fever with runny nose?

I had protected anal and unprotected oral sex with a man. I can also remember that he placed his penis (unprotected) at the entrance to my anus and was rubbing for a few seconds.

They are not ARS symptoms and they come 2 to 4 weeks post--exposure not at 10 weeks.

I would also mention that I just had my fever today when I woke up. My runny nose were already present 3 weeks before I had fever. My runny nose was accompanied by cough but it was gone a week after.
