hiv symptoms?

Im a 34yr old man who has tested every 3months for the past year for hiv. Its been negative, but i was recently dating a 24yr old woman who likes to party and when she does i believe anything goes with anyone around her. I wasnt aware and thought we only were sleeping with each other. I asked her if she had been tested and shed just say im fine your fine..blah blah blah. We were having unprotected sex for the past 5 months, i tested neg 3 months ago, I stopped seeing her about a month ago, and since than ive noticed small tremors in my arms and hand, allot of sweat from only my left underarm, vision is good, but sometimes feels like when u havent slept and need to. like a haze feeling sometimes all day. Weakness and shakeness in hamstrings. And then comes the diaharea..constantly for few weeks. Sometimes very watery and other times very very soft stools. Very seldom is it solid. Sprinkle in anxiety and stress,...things havent been pleasant lately. Im trying to make an appointment for more tests but its a few weeks away. I guess what im asking are these symtoms of an early infection..? im going crazy

3 months post your LAST exposure will give you a conclusive result.

until you are in a monogamous relationship where BOTH of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms for penetrative vaginal / anal intercourse.  sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.

anxiety and stress can be causing your symptoms,  best way is to get tested even at 6 to 8 weeks .  symptoms arn't always reliable at indicating the virus as for me  i had rash fever white tongue and tested over 4 months negative .  i believe  most of it was from  the stress and anxiety .
