muscle/joint aches in forearms and legs

i have already described my case in my previous thread, just to brief.
comdom break while having sex with a prostitute, not sure abt her status.
i started with PEP but discontinued due to nasty sideeffects and finally finished 3 weeks treatment only.
after completion of PEP, i have persistent muscle ache in forearms and legs(more below knee leg portion).
i went to doc and had combiflam but thats not working  the pain comes back.
i got tested 14 days after last dose of pep and result was negative ie 0.19!
can some one please suggest whom to approach for this pain and if any one has any idea of whats going on?
is this sideeffect of PEP or ARS symptoms

hi lizzie,

My bad, i misquoted above.
sorry about that.
Actually your post was something like this.
"if a person gets infected, he may test positive in 10 days test"

However thanks for your time and for sharing knowledge about this.
i will post after my conclusive result.

Thanks again.

"i saw your reply to one of the thread where you had sais a person with symptoms after exposure will be tested positive in 10 days test,"

FIRST THINGS FIRST...you stated in your last post that i stated the above...I HAVE NEVER STATED THAT.

now back to your post.

we cannot diagnose your muscle aches...see your doctor.

test 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.
