your odds are like 1 in 200,000. Your shoulder hurting is not a sign of HIV. Your gonna be fine. Just to be sure, go to public health or your doctor and get tested for hiv in about three months.

Test at 3 months after your last unprotected sex and obtain you conclusive test result. You could have prevented this if you had used a condom. Don't rely on symptoms, they will never tell you a thing about your status.

sorry teak..I am not native English speakerand I am so scared, so my description my be a little awkward

I had unsafe sex 4 weeks ago and the first minute after it I began to panic. Little sleep in the following week, and then from the fourth week I started to experience pain in my muscles and joints. The panic resulted from strong feeling of guilty, and a strong fear of HIV infection.
At first it is only some minor feelings like needles in my shoulder(it is not unbearable but it is clear).Sometimes my upper arms have pulsing pain.

I have no other symptoms like fever and other symptoms.
Any one can say that this is a possible sign of hiv?
