You know there is always a chance it is just another virus, one of the many that mirror flu like symptoms, it can often take weeks and maybe months before these viruses are tackled by our systems

You don't diagnose HIV by symptoms. HIV has no specific symptoms. Your HIV test will be conclusive at 3 months post exposure.

I am really sick since I had sex around one and a half month ago and I am not sure it he used a condom or not.  I already had a blood test and was negative, but it was so eraly, so I have to wait until April to get the three months test.  I know it sounds crazy, maybe my mind is just treating me , but I have pains in my arms, my low back and legs, headaches and feel always tire.  Please let me know what you think....

how do you find virus in blood? hiv virus is extremely difficult to culture. Guess your test is negative for antibody. If negative at 3 month, 97%-99% case is conclusive. Symptoms are not reliable to judge.
