Pinning sensation, is it HIV related?

I had unprotected sex with csw on 18th January.
Except cold and cough I did not experience any other major symptoms. I also had almost 1 month laryngitis. I tested after 30 days and 44 days post exposure by EIA 3rd generation antibody test and results came negative.

I am now at 96 days post exposure and after 4 days I am going for another EIA antibody test. From yesterday I am suffering from tingling sensation (mostly pinning). almost through out body. The sensations are quite mild.

Can somebody please tell me is it HIV symptoms? I know this kind of sensation can happen at the later stage of HIV.

Please reply.

But just one question to get relax from the very recent anxiety. Anyways I am going for retest after 4 days.

1. Can Paresthesia happen at the initial HIV infection?
2. How reliable 44 days EIA antibody test?

HIV is not diagnosed by symptoms only testing and testing at 3 month would be conclusive.
