is sore throat a symptom of hiv
The Acute HIV Syndrome (AKA Acute Retroviral Syndrome) is a flu-like illness that occurs between 2 and 4 weeks after exposure (within the window you are referring to). Symptoms include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and muscle soreness. The symptom of runny nose and sneezing is on the list of possibilities, but this is fairly non-specific. The symptoms then last for up to 2 weeks and resolve. Most patients that are exposed to HIV get this syndrome. I would suggest a couple things.
