Do I have HIV

I had unprotected sex with two different guys a month apart. I know it is irresponsible. After the second one, I went and had a full std test all were negative. But then I read where it could take up to 90 days for hiv to show up. I have been tired, not hungry, I've lost 15 pounds in three weeks, diarehha, and I get headaches they usually last 2 days then disappear. But then two weeks exactly i get the headache fever muscle aches and night sweats again. Is this HIV? I live in the United States I have seen in several posts about the new rapid HIV test but I have no idea which one was performed on me. Should I be worried? Ive also noticed where it is very painful to have sex. Maybe i have a different std that didn't show up the first time?

I don't guess when it comes to HIV. You had an exposure.

To late to worry. You can test 3 months after your last unprotected sex to obtain a conclusive test result.
