Aches and pains

I'm experiencing dull muscle ache in some areas of my body 9 weeks after exposure. Is this a HIV symptom in most cases or could it just be down to the stress and aniexty i have? I've also had every symptom going, fever, diaherra, mouth ulcers etc

thanks

Symptoms mean nothing because every symptom associated with ARS is also caused by hundreds of things way way way more common than HIV. Your 34 day test should give you some comfort because around 90% or more will have tested positive by then. Either way, you will be happy in 3 weeks.

got my 12 week test, well 83 days, booked in 3 weeks. think i'll just wait for that one. the thing thats freakin me out is my girlfriend coz she now has a sore throat and 2 mouth ulcers. we've only had sex once since my risk though. the stress and aniexty is killing me. its all these symptoms coupled with some weird red spots i've found on my hands thats worrying. these spots, 1 on each hand, could have been there before and they could appear and disapear all the time! its only because i keep looking at my body all the time. i am stupid

ignore symptoms, your risk was astronomically small to nothing. If you are nervous an antibody test at 9 weeks is over 98% accurate. I would only do this for peace of mind and nothing else.
