week long headache and HIV

I am hoping someone can help me. I had sex about 7 weeks ago. The condom broke. I didn't notice it until the day after when I went to throw it in the trash. About a week ago I started to get this horrible headache that just won't do away. I don't know if its stress or what. I don't have any other symptoms. My joints are a little achy but I think its the weather. I had achy joints in the summer with all that rain. I'm just concenred about this headache. I have a Point of Care HIV test exactly 6 weeks after my encounter. The sexual health nurse said that %75 of people are detectable at that point. Oh. My headache started a few days before the test.

Anyone?
Think its something else?

I have had some simptoms for what I beliave it to be HIV. I had Protected sex yet I beliave I was at risk. My health has been on edge. I feel muscle and join pain. not to mention the strange pain on my hands and the burning sensation on my skin.  I had a 4-week test which was negative, I just recently had my 6-week test results and they were negative.  

I hope my status does not change for next month
good luck to you
