HIV or another STD?

Okay, the first time i ever had sex was unprotected to an 18 year old girl who stated she had sex with about 8 other partners.

My symptoms Include:
-after first 2 days: groin and hip flexer pains
-after about a week: center of abdominal pains
-Week and a half: Flu with abdominal pains (flu lasted 2 days)
-The abdominal pains continued on for a good 3 or 4 months
-Ever since about the 3rd month: i began to notice that my body limbs fall asleep more often than usual; I have been also having twitching in my muscles everywhere along with just random small pains around the body
-4th month: Upper abdominal pains right below chest and ribs
-5 1/2 months: Started taking Pepcid AC for abdominal pains because maybe the pain was acid build-up
-After two days from taking Pepcid AC: Upper Abdominal pain was not AS severe but still noticeable. Shooting pains began in my arms and legs.

This is a complete overview of what has been happeneing to me and It is now about 7 months experiencing: the shooting pains in arms and legs, the limbs falling asleep really easily, twitching of muscles, and slight abdominal burning in random spots but most intense right under the chest and ribs.

Whoever can Help Diagnose What this could Be, GOD BLESS YOU!

Symptoms or the lack of are no way to diagnose HIV. Also it's not a guessing game, and by having unprotected sex you put yourself at risk.

Your symptoms did come on too early, and are unrelated to ARS.

You do need to test but just know HIV isn't easy to transmit.

Get tested and let us know how it turns out. Next time don't gamble with your health. Good luck.

I just went back and read your original post. Our answers aren't going to change regardless how many symptoms you want to add.

The odds are overwhelmingly in your favor, but anytime you choose not to use protection you are placing yourself at risk. Make sure you learn from this.

Stop all the worrying and go test. Then you will have an answer. Good luck.

Symptoms are not the indicator of any thing and no body can diagonos you and your symptoms over the internet, though most of them sounds to be not HIV related

You've already crossed your 3 months mark all you need to do now is to simply go ahead and test, that'll give you the concrete result !
