Reactive arthritis?

Reactive arthritis?

Hello,
Approximately two weeks ago I had protected receptive anal sex with a guy.  Five days ago I started to get chills without a fever being present. I noticed that my joints have been popping with increased frequency in my back, neck, knees and ankles. Yesterday my legs felt like they were burning in my thighs and this also spread to my knees and down my calfs. My knees have been popping almost everytime I extend my legs after sitting for a period of time, and now they are burning and cold to the touch. I still have the burning sensation on my thighs spanning from my knees to below my hips. I was diagnosed with chlymidia in the past and I am paranoid that this is evidence of Reactive Arthritis due to HIV infection.

Would RA due to HIV Infection manifest between 1-2 weeks after infection?  Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Condoms are not 100% effective and there was a chance of semen leakage...  Instead of being offhandedly dismissive, can someone please humor me and tell me if my symptoms are possibly due to reactive arthritis caused by HIV infection?
