Two weeks after exposure

I am experiencing joint pain in my hands and feet, primarily within the joints of my fingers and some of my toes.  No feeling of fever but I have been experiencing maybe a sore throat? It is a feeling like when you sleep with your mouth closed and you that mild dry sensation behind your throat, never have I experienced a full on sore throat where it hurts and I need medication

My exposure was condom protected sex (hopefully for the most part as I cannot remember much of the 3 minutes sexual experience unfortunately) Condom might have slipped off.  I do understand that you cannot judge an HIV infection by symptoms but from your guys' experience pain, in those specific areas - have you seen them in HIV+ individuals? The pain is finally subsiding today, which started about 3 days ago

your CONDOM PROTECTED sex did not result in you being infected with hiv.

Vance,

mile sore throat and joint pain that somewhat started and ended at the same time could be indicative of ARS?  How severe is ARS sore throat and is a fever always accompanied by it? My join pain in my extremeties is finally dissipating today.
