what are the early symptoms of hiv

[tshakur75]

I have been having fear over 5months today when i had an unprotected girl.Since then I have no fever but there is a mild headache that has been going on for two months its really mild something some folks can easily over look but i do have mild pain in my ankle and wrist.
I went to the hospital two months ago though i did not ask for a hiv test i did ask for  general blood test which was done and I was told my blood cells are in tact. still the mild headache is there and this pain in the ankle and i also have pain in my back.I am wondering if i have hiv infection tell me.

Okay, now that it is in the right place I'll answer it.

Your symptoms are not HIV related, and the only way you can know if you have it is by testing for it. Your general blood is meaningless regarding infection- you need to test specifically for HIV (antibody) through an ELISA test. You can test now for a conclusive result.
