Muscle and Joint pain after unprotected sex
Hello,
So it has been 60 day since i had brief unprotected sex. It was less then 10 min, no obvious signs of infection, and i did not finish inside. I immeditally washed afterwards then scrupped real hard when i got back to the hotel. Approximitally 42 day after this incident i develeoped what i think was a heat rash running down my right arm and centralize in the elbo joint on my left arm. I was not freaked out until one of my buddies said it could be a HIV rash. I never had a Fever, had brief Diharea this same week, but i live in a small quaters where 10 of the 30 people living with me were sick. About 1 week later and 50 websites telling me every Symptom of HIV and STD's i started having joint and muscle pains through out my body. They have since gotton a little worse, but only last in short waves but know come more frequently throught the day. Sometime it burnms under my skin, mostly in my arms and hands.This really is my only steady symptoms. I have been tested but am still awaiting the results. Any guidence would be greatly appriciated! Really scared about what the other websites say. Does HIV symptom show up in groups or by them selves?

It doesn't sounds like an HIV symptoms. However, you had put yourself at risk from that incident which means you need to get the test. 3 months is conclusive.
Symptoms of ARS all will hit you all at once, not one at a time. They usually start 2-4 weeks after infection and usually last 1-2 weeks and then they go away.
