Can acute retroviral syndrome start 10 1/2 weeks after exposure and last for 9+ weeks. Symptoms started with sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, low fever and fatigue. Lymph nodes are still swollen ( not as large as they were) but fatigue is finally going away after 9 weeks. No rash. Partner is not known to be HIV + and is in low risk group. Fourth generation test done 14 days after last exposure was negative.
