May, maybe not. Probably not.  The only way to know is to get tested.  Do not go off symptoms because they mean very little.  I had the same symptoms and I had a a couple neg HIV test.  I think you are just nervous and just have a cold.  Go get tested.  The truth is that most people do not have HIV but get tested, this is the only way you will know.

Well, your symptoms soound nothing like ARS symptoms.  BUT, in order to advise you if you need to test...have you done anything to place yourself at risk for HIV?  Unprotected vaginal or anal sex?  Share needles?
