I am scared

I had unprotected sex with a lady (who was looking good and she said she was good too, I don't believe her) 17 days ago.  I did go to doctor and gave my blood for testing.  Waiting on results.  I was Ok till yesterday but last evening I had a headache.  Of course, its gone now but I woke up this morning to run to toilet twice. (loose motions).  I am constantly checking my temperature and it was 96.4 yesterday and now it is 95.8.  I am feeling cold and I had mild cold and cough since 2 days.  Any thoughts if I am infected with HIV?  Thanks in advance.

Can someone let me know, usually if headache shows up as a symptom of HIV infection:
a) Would it be persistant?  If so, how long?
b) How severe would it be?
And same thing about fever too?
