Worried about HIV

Hi, I am a male and I met up with a man 4 weeks ago and we ended up rimming each other and sucking each other's penis. I did have anal intercourse, but was wearing a condom.

I met up with him again last Friday and did similar things.

Since this Wednesday I am having all the flu like symptoms, fever, headaches and have pain in my legs. No sore throat.
I am bit worried now about HIV, do you think this are symptoms of an HIV infection? Are there any other symptoms should I look for?

How do I know if this is normal flu or HIV infection?

When is the best time to get tested?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your post and welcome to our forum.
Your sexual encounters did not involve any significan HIV risk at all whatsoever and therefore I do not believe that those symptoms would have anything to do with HIV sero-conversion.  
Your symptoms seem to be very non-specific and not typical of acute sero-conversion.  However it is very difficult to know if they are or not unless you are tested.  If you are having symptoms and you get a simple antibody test now and is negative, that would exclude completely that those symptoms were related with HIV.
Best wishes

Thanks Dr José for your response,

I did get the HIV DUO test which was negative, just to be sure will do another one in 2 weeks time.

Cheers.
