continuous headache

I slept with a friend (also male) on 12th May, around 6 weeks later I did have a brief flu like episode but no fever, rash or glands.
Now for the past two weeks I have had a constant headache, it goes on taking medication but does anyone know if just a constant headache is a symptom of HIV with no other symptoms?
I'm worried sick.

Symptoms are never a good indicator of infection.  You could test now at 6 weeks.  While that is not as conclusive as a 3 month test it would give you peace of mind and let you know that what you are feeling is not an HIV infection.  It would be very unlikely you would have those symptoms and a negative test at 6 weeks.
