Are my symptoms ARS related?

Hi. It has been 5 weeks since I had a sex encounter with a sexual worker. Since the 3rd day after the encounter, my entire body feels weaker. I have pain in the muscles. I also have weird muscle vibrations on the arms and legs and lately there's a tingling sensation on my left and right palm, which makes my arms sore the next day. I haven't experienced sore thoath, fever, rash and other ars symptoms, so that gives me hope.

Do you guys think that what I have is anxiety related, or something more worrisome like ars or other STD?

Thanks for the help.

If the condom did not break then it was used fine. You had no risk. See a Dr, it is not HIV related.

Hi. Sex was protected (condom didn't break or fell) but like I said, since im an amateur I can't tell if i used it improperly.

Lizzie, i know what the community told me, but Im worried because I didnt have these pains before the sex.

I can explain that you should see a Dr for your issue as it is not HIV related.

Oh, and can you guys explain if these muscle and hand pains have anything to do with lymph nodes. Ive googled swollen lymph nodes pictures and I don't think I have that.
