Unprotected sex persistent symptoms really scared

Hello experts I had unprotected vaginal sex with street prostitute some 5 months before..two weeks after that I got sore throat and fever for 1 week..then I got pains in my both legs from knees upto soles..my soles are burning and paining like hell when I sleep along with knee pain..this is persistent from last 4 months..the pain is so severe that I haven't slept from last 4 months..I took my last test day before yesterday on 20th week after exposure by 4th generation elisa..it came back negative..are there any chances that my 5 months negative test will turn positive later?if no then why am I having this severe symproms from last 4 monrhs?

You'd have to talk to the moderators.  This forum has rules about excessive posting, for very good reason...because it's one of the busiest forums on MH, and if the mods allowed every anxious person to continue repeating their questions over and over, other people would never get their questions answered.

You don't have an HIV concern, which means it's time to move along from this forum.  Your issues are with anxiety....THAT is where your focus should be.

You've already been told multiple times that HIV is not a concern for you.

This is an HIUV specific forum...STD questions need to be posted on the STD forum.

Time to move along.

U should test for other STDs too. Syphillis can cause similar sympthoms too. A test after 5 months would b 100% conclusive.

Your test is conclusive, you do not have HIV, relax and move on with your life normally. Next time do not forget to use protected whenever involved sexually with anyone outside your mutually committed monogamous relationship
