Hiv symptoms ?

Hi I had sex with a sex worker on 28th of December 2011 ,Have regretted it and been very stressed ever since, intercourse was protected . About 3 days later i got a sore throat and it has been coming on and off ever since , mainly in the mornings and at night . Went to doctors last week and she said i have pharyngitis and prescribed me penicillin , I also have a rash on face , the rash i not very visible i had to point it out to doctor for her to notice . She said the throat infection can cause the rash .Also legs ache a little , I have not had fever on any other symptoms . i know the only way to know is to get tested which i am going to do . Just looking for some advice in mean time .

Do you think these are symptoms of hiv ?
