Hello,
Based on your data, I think it is early to get some HIV symptoms after this exposure. These symptoms could be just a viral situation (flu) not related to HIV infection(ARS).
Furthermore, I suggest doing a 4th generation HIV test 4 to 6 weeks and 3 months after exposure to define the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Monika Dede
