Need help with HIV symptoms

Hi all,

        This is my first post in this forum. I have many doubts after reading some of the online blogs and information about HIV. 14 months back I had sex with a women without protection. I asked her before involving that are you DD free. She said I am and asked me whether I was, and requested to pull off at climax so she do not want fluids in her. I was positive on that and we went for it. Later I meet her twice, but did little. One fine day I came to know from one of the sources that she does prostitution and she have herpes and never meet her again. 8 months passed so far. But I started doubting about my health. Initially It seems to me I was fine, I have not seen any symptoms of early HIV or herpes. But after through studying I learned that it is not necessary to have symptoms of HIV and can completely healthy after infecting. Recently I started experiencing little tiredness. Also, my sleeping time is some what late, I go to bed very late, like sometimes 3:00 am and due to some mental tensions I am unable to sleep few hours after collapsing on the bed. Recently I have serve Sinus and felt tiresome. I was contracted pharyngitis and was cured in 5 days after taking doctor prescribed medicine for sinus. this is 5 days back. Currently I have little pressure in ears and felling tiresome. I can still do normal things slowly but not for a long time. Need to rest some time and again back to work. Feel like to sleep all the time. My worst fears are that whether am I infected with HIV. I know HIV test is the best way to know whether I am HIV positive or negative. But I need some suggestions what could be the reason of these fatigue symptoms. some time I experience back pain if i stand for a long time. But it will go away after taking rest. Please help me in suggesting what are these symptoms. Thanks.
