Early Sign of HIV infection???

I feel like my muscles are deteriorating and turning into watery fat is this a sign of early HIV infection??  It's been 4 months since i received unprotected anal.  I tested negative at 11 1/2 weeks.  I just can't seem to shake this thing as I have diahrrea, a weird taste in my mouth, and my muscles feel like they are wasting away.  

What's going on with me?  Do I have HIV?

I'm waiting until after 6 months to get my final test but some feedback would be great

also, I just had the following tests on Wed 11-8 :  urinalysis, CBC, TSH Ultra Sensitive,  comp metabolic, culture stool, and ova & parasites.

I will be getting my results back next week and see if everything is normal

so muscle wasting wouldn't develop in early stages of HIV?

If you've never had any other risk just before your test. 11.5 weeks is conclusive. It's not going to change in 3 or 4 days. As for muscle wasting. that you wouldn't have to THINK about you would see it. As hot_mocha advise you that is in late stages of advanced HIV or cause by certain HAART medications of which neither apply to you.
