You need to take an HIV test - it's been over 3 months after exposure, so it will be conclusive.
No your symptoms do not sound like ARS and you cannot go by symptoms to diagnose HIV. You put yourself at risk by having unprotected sex. You can test now and your results will be conclusive. Use latex condoms and you won't find yourself in this situation.
