Hello,
I can understand your concern for HIV. In your query you have stated that you had unprotected sex with a girl 2 weeks back and ever since you are so sick that body temperature has not come down.
In ARS, it takes few weeks of time to present the symptoms and do not manifest so early. It takes almost 5-6 weeks for ARS or the symptoms to appear. The most important of the thing to tell you is in ARS- fever is the most commonly encountered problem. So you just check whether your temperature is above 102 F.
I frequently consult patient with your type of state and getting frightened and therefore correlating one of the other symptoms to ARS. But actually speaking these are due to acute panic created due to fear of HIV.
If at all you are worried tehn can go for RNA PCR test to relieve all your anxiety. For any further information you can ask me directly at:

All the best.
