Do HIV infection cause muscle aches?joint pains? to what degree?

if you are interested can read this.
6 weeks ago, had protected vaginal intercourse with a sex worker, but dunno whether the condom did break,
i went for a test on 4th week-- hemarapid test. shows no anitobodies.
by then i was already having these muscle aches, joint pains, and some dunno whether is it rashes growth on the chest , stomach and back a little. they are like bites, which has since healed leaving behind scars.( Are these rashes?)
right now, i had an ulcer at the side of my mouth, its at the lip- left side of mouth. is this a sympton as well?
All these are the symptons which i had, but no one can tell me whether their causes. I lived in Singapore, maybe the place is humid, so can cause these symptons, but i am really not sure. Counsellers has placed me under low risk but i am still under risks.

So, i actually called up the pro, and she told me that her std/hiv report came out negative, but that doesn't cover for any risk of the men that did it with her before me. i knew perhaps my chances of infection is low, but what is causing these symptons? rashes, muscle aches and joint pains.. some of them even can occur at the fingers. Can everyone just pool in what you know about HIV symptons? or if you are HIV positive, can tell me whether my symptons are suggestive of HIV infection?
I would appreciate any help that you guys can provide to me, so that i can still function till the 3 mths period has reached before i take the test. Thank You! :confused:

i think you are really stressing yourself out. you can't live like you have a disease when your tests thus far have said that you don't. i did the same thing you are doing right now----freaking out. i too had joint aches, night sweats and a buch of other stuff. my test was negative and it still took a while to set in. i still have "symptoms" everyone does because HIV symptoms are not very specific. i am on some anxiety medication and it is amazing how all these little aches and pains go away when your mind can relax. think about it this way...is what you are doing now helping your situation in anyway? life is short, don't waste it mentally torturing yourself!
