Ars sympton

I recently developed what seemed like a mild cold; congestion, runny nose, sneezing. I did not develop a fever but did have irritation in my throat. I am feeling better but jave started to get dull throbbing pains in various parts of my body pretty much all over from head to toe. It will be in one area and subside after a few seconds then a little while later it will be in another. I know symptoms are not a true indicator of anything really but my question is has anyone heard of or experienced pain such as this associated with ars. Thanks.

Im sorry. I forgot about 5 weeks ago, I had recieved anal sex from a man. The condom broke at some point, not sure when. I had duo test 10 days post exposure it was negative, but understand 10 days may have been too soon to test.

You have to wait 28 days to test.
Try not to worry about the health issues that you feel are occurring because you interact with other people so colds are to be expected. In a worried state you tense up and over-analyze your body so that can lead to your imagination making you think things are happening such as when you think pains are here one minute then go away and reappear in another part of your body.
In summary, nothing is pointing toward you having HIV, so try to relax while you wait for 28 then test.
