Joint Pain

Hello, I had joint pain in knees, ankles, elbows, and wrists, and felt a bit fatigued, they all hurt at the same time. Could this be related to ARS? no other symptoms, it only lasted one day.

Yes I know,but honestly I have only had unprotected sex with 3 girls, all of them have been my girlfreinds, and after them have been tested negative in the test. I do not sleep around much, this time, it is a girl I am dating, who claims had all her STD and HIV scrrening after her last realtionship, coming out all of them negative. Sincve this was the first ime we had unprotected sex, I get all paranoid once again if I feel something weird in my system, like that joint pain. When I have slept with girls I really do not know much about, I always use a condom since the beginning, knowing the nervewreck I become after. This time I was doing OK, it is a girl I trust, it´s just that I feel like that. On the posts I have made before this one, was really I think more bad conscious than anything else, This becasue I had my fiancee who was living abroad, we broke up two times, so I got involved each time with one girl, using always condom with them. When I knew she was coming here to visit and see if we could solve the matter, I guess my conscious played a bad trick on me, got all anxoius, nervous thinking I could give something to my ex. This all I attribute to that, since I did not have unprotected sex with any of those girls, just had it with my ex, who had been together with for 10 years, and I had 2 HIV tests made during that time, both coming negative. It is just that I think I am very nervous. My last post before this was because the girl had her period right when we were having interourse, I was wearing a condom, but I panicked, that is actually all the posts I have put regarding this. this last experience, the last exposure is actually almost 4 weeks ago, there is a cold/flu virus around my country right now, and being the hypocondriac I am, i always get this sickness feelings. So, this time I had pain i those joints, upper back, eyes and eyelids hurting, characteristic when you are coming down with a cold / flu, so I got nervous again and starting searching the web again. Today when I woke up, had no pain at all, and have not had any, it dissapeared completely. Besides the pain in the joints yesterday, I had no other symptoms. thanks

Had partake with the girl Iam dating, unprotected sex for a few minutes. Being the scary type of this disease, my mind begins to work, develope anxiety and start thinking a lot of things related to this disease. I felt that pain only yesterday, just felt it for one day, today i woke up feeling really good and without any pain. Coudl this be just my mind playing tricks on me or just anxiety due to me frigthfullness?
Is this tyoe of pain alone related to ARS? did not feel anything else.
