joint pain, ARS?

I was walking on the street and I felt that someone touched my shoulder.
I am afraid that I could be stabbed with a needle with HIV+ blood on it.
I know that symptoms do not indicate HIV.
But in the forth week, I had mild joint pain in my wrist, finger, ankle, and knees.
Do I need to get tested?
Is joint pain a common symptom for HIV?
Sorry for my poor English.

Irrational thinking. Your posting history indicates an obsession or phobia about HIV. Please direct your concerns to more appropriate venue, such as a mental health forum or (preferably) professional.

plz what? You only posted here 17 mins ago, we are not here 24/7 waiting for people to post.

Seek a therapist for your anxiety/irrational thoughts. This is not an HIV issue.
