About Me: 33yr old Male, with Diabetes, Ulcerative Colitis & GERD. I take Meds for Diabetes but it is till out of control and I should be on Insulin. Recently unemployed with no Health Insurance.
Risk: Broken condom during anal sex(April 23), I was the insertive partner(Top). This was not a rough or prolonged session more two pump chump thing. My sex partner stated that he was HIV Negative but it had been over a year since his last test. He and I usually see each other several times a year. He is a closeted Bi male.
I went to get tested a week after that experience on May 2, 2011 and they did a full STD work up. All test where negative. I also had been STI & HIV tested six weeks prior for my regular 3mos. check up
I did ask my partner to go get test which he said he did and that he was all Clean. It is the word "CLEAN" that scares me because that is not a word used except by those who don't get tested in my opinion.
Symptoms: On May 24th, I begin having Muscle Pain in my right thigh and shooting pain in my right arm. This pain has engulfed my legs and arms. But it is a dull pain or shooting pain that comes and goes. Not serious enough for pain pills. My Muscle pain feels more like I've not eaten enough potassium. This has caused cramping of my hands where i can't hold a cup, sandwich or even a news paper. Sometimes the pain is in my hips, hands, wrist,knees and ankles which started on June 2,2011. The joint pain is more like I need crack my knuckles in those joints then actual aches or pain. This also comes & goes. Often times at night my muscles have a vibrations sensation to them and it keeps me awake. I often check to see if my hands are shaking(which they aren't). Sometime I would feel like my lymph nodes were pulsing in the groin & under arm area. But it was never painful just itchy sometimes.
The Headaches began on June 8 and it stated as sinus pressure the swept over my head and face. This lasted all evening and into the night and finally going away in the morning. Since then I've had sinus style headaches without the running nose or sneezing. The headaches involve temple pain, itchy eyes and off & on sinus pressure. But the headaches do not feel like my normal sinus headaches of the past. The can come on and be gone in 5 mins or last an hour to 24hrs.
I'm also having Night Sweats, but only 2-3 days a week. These are not bed soaking sweats either, more sweating of the neck and back of the head area. Sorta like sleeping in a home without A/C. Most of the symptoms/issues have been ongoing for a 2-3 weeks.
NO:temperature/Fever
Flu like body aches
Diarrhea
Rash
Thrush
Sore throat
Weight Loss
Nausua/ Vomiting
Tiredness
Fatigue
My question is not about risk, but has anyone else experienced these Issues during their seroconversion or has any professionals heard of the issues happening like this?

Alot of these symptoms can be HIV related, but at the same time, they can also be related to so many other diseases out there (some which are curable and cause no serious damage to your health).
I had a good friend once, and when she turned 20 she tested positive for HIV. I remember the conditions she said she was suffering from when she "though" she began going through the primary stage. She said she suffered from:
Headache Swollen lymph nodes in the groin and neck Flu symptoms, like throwing up and nausea Tiredness A patchy rash on her torso Fever and cold night sweats
These are actually most of the main symptoms of primary HIV infection. However, don't let that make you think you DO have it. No one knows for sure unless they get tested. These symptoms my friend suffered from are also symptoms that can be related to anything!!! So don't let it scare you.
Go in and get the test. You can find places at your local clinic, your primary doctor can help you and so can Planned Parenthood. Some people don't know this, but Planned Parenthood does not just test for pregnancy, but they also test for STDs and HIV is one of them.
Get the test. Wait 3 months though, because antibodies might not be present until that time.
Good luck, hope all goes well.
