Fever is the number one symptom. Usually fever and a rash.

But remember, these symptoms can be related to a number of illnesses.

If you feel that you had a significant risk and are experiencing symptoms you believe indicate you are seroconverting, then get a test. Testing is the only way to get a conclusive answer. Also, if you are ill and it is not HIV related, you could do great harm to yourself by ignoring other possible illnesses.

There are a lot of other diseases out there besides HIV.

Here's the thing.....some people that are infected feel NOTHING. That is why if you place yourself at risk, you can't just look for symptoms (aside from the fact that the symptoms are the same with a million different illnesses...and some with stress!) It would be nice if you got some tell tale symptoms like a rainbow would appear on your stomach...and that was the only illness that you got that with, so you would know "shit I have the rainbow." or "yaaay, no rainbow" but that isn't the way it is. Some people have one symptom....some have a lot of symptoms...and some have none. That is why they say "if there is a risk...test:" God Bless.

hi

regards from india

The onset of ARS is observed 2-4 weeks post exposure. The most common symptoms are fever sore throat, swollen glands in the neck, armpits and groin, muscle and joint pains, rash and night sweats.

Having said that diagnosis made on symptoms experienced is highly inaapropriate, if you feel worried you may have put yourself at risk you may want to test.

Goodluck

So I guess that if one has a test done at 6 months post exposure and it turns negative, regardless of any symptoms, it should not be HIV???

If you tested negative 6 months post exposure, you are HIV negative. Consequently the symptoms you experience are not even remotely related to HIV.

Goodluck
