Yes i used condom during sex
Only sex risks are penetrating unprotected vaginal or anal so you had no risk. No detail you can add to your situation or additional symptoms can make your experience a risk.

Try to accept the science above and relax and see if the symptoms disappear. Likely most of your symptoms are just in your imagination from the fear that you are dying, or you have a cold or you just have an odd ache here and there like everyone else does, but in any event it has nothing to do with HIV.  
Thank you so much for your kind words!
