Finger Pain ARS/HIV/AIDS

Hello,

I'm hoping to find out some information. I have read up on HIV and AIDS (even thought I'm not an MD or Phd) and I have read symptoms of HIV/AIDS is joint pain.

Questions: 1. Is joint pain associated with ARS (HIV) or AIDS down the line?
2. Can ARS joint pain only occur in 2 fingers? Or is it all over the body?

Thank you kindly.

I know that, but was looking for advice. I was worried and upset and thought that maybe I would be able to find some advice or help through experience. Thank you though.

You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post exposure. HIV has no specific symptoms and is never diagnosed by symptoms.

I was engaged and the wedding was called off. But a couple of weeks before I had two fingers that hurt when I would bend them. Just that, no other symptoms.

My exposure was unprotected vaginal sex.
