Possible risk

Hi. I need some advice on my situation. I had been in contact with a pros about 6 months ago. At week 8 i develop flu with running nose and cough with phlegm for about 2 weeks to recover. I thought it was a common flu case and did not take any HIV test. Not until at week 24 i started to have diarrea, muscle pain especially on my leg, chills and a spinning headache. All appeared at the same time. I did not have a fever though. Is it a symptoms for hiv/aids???

HIV causes aids. YOu put yourself at risk by from that incident and you must take a test. Symptoms dont diagnose HIV only the test does. From your 6 months post exposure, any HIV test you will take now will be conclusive.

What was your exposure?
If you had unprotected vaginal/anal sex, you must get tested at 3 months mark for a conclusive result.
Symptoms are very poor indicators of HIV. They don't mean anything. Most of the HIV symptoms can happen 'coz of hundreds of other viral/bacterial infection.
