ARS are aids related symptoms...not much more else i can say unless you have anymore questions :)

ARS is Anti-Retroviral Syndrome. ARS is what you get when your body is starting to fight the HIV virus. ARS symptoms include: Fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, headache, body aches, fatigue. Very much like having mono, or the flu. However, not all people get them, and not all people get them all. They can last a few days, to 2 weeks. Many people who DO expierence them, do so after 2-4 weeks of possible exposure.

ARS relates to HIV only in that SOME people report having those symptoms after they are exposed to HIV.

Hope that helps.

What time period do you experience ARS symptoms? I just read after 2-4 weeks, but is it after 2-4 weeks but before three months or a similar time period? Thanks,
