does it sound like hiv?

im at 8 weeks of possible exposure. i had unprotected sex with someone whos status i dont know. i was treated for chlamydia so at 4 weeks i did a finger prick test at planned parenthood and it was negative. 8 weeks later im now going to retest but im nervous because i have joint pain in random places. nothing severe but just a discomfort. i also notice i was sweating a little last night . not sure if it was a same fever or not. also i have always had scaly skin like the "fish scale disease" but it seems af if its spreading ..or i can just be over thinking... sometimes id also feel a burning sensation in my lower back or left abdomen .. any advice will help
