hiv early symptoms

When do early symptoms of hiv being? I had sex with a prostitute on October 5,  ten days ago. I was wearing a condom but it broke. I was probably inside of her for like 5 minutes with the broken condom. I don't know if she had any stds our if and does any drugs. I don't don't do any drugs and don't have any stds. Today i woke up with a stomach ache and now i have a head ache and some fever and feel very tired. Could those be done early symptoms for hiv?

10 days is too soon for ARS symptoms which usually don't occur for 2-4  weeks post exposure.

Get a HIV/antigen at 28 days for a conclusive result

Remember that ars symptoms are the same as MANY other illnesses. Such as a cold. When the symptoms hit you get everything all at once.  Not the odd one here and there. Be aware that you did have a risk but the odd (statistically speak) are in your favour you don't have it. Even if she was hiv+.

As the above chap said take a duo 4th gen test at 4 weeks.
