herpes reinfection

I am extremely anxious. i had unprotected sex a couple weeks ago with someone who, like myself, has herpese. We both don't know which strain we have. However, a week later i started getting the same symptoms which i got when i first got herpes with the exception of fever.(joint and muscle pain all over, headaches, slight soar throat, slight fatigue) Could  this be a reinfection cuz am supposed to have antibodies for this already or something else? am worried it cud be HIV.
