am i infected with HIV

I had unprotected sex with someone. After a month I had diarhea and body ache (must mention I had regular alcohol during the period). the diarrea went away in 2 days. After a week i had cough and pain while swallowing which also went away in 2-3 days. Is it a sign that i am infected with HIV or can it be sign of too much alcohol?

regardless of symptoms which can not predict HIV
you have placed your self at risk from unprotected sex
and need testing after 3 month of exposure to get accurate results

The only way to know if you have been exposed is by test at the proper time. 3 months post exposure is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result. HIV can never be diagnosed by symptoms. HIV has no specific symptoms.
