thank you for query.The symptoms are non specific may be due to ARS or not.But as the partner tests are negative it is unlikely to be due to HIV.Hope she is not in window period.You can go for HIV tests depending on the time since exposure like RNA PCR or Combo tests or elisa.consult doctor for investigation to relieve your anxiety due to HIV. hope for the best..You can get back to me for any clarifications with the details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
