Brief Answer:
Not at all related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

You had protected sex and 96 days post exposure test result was also negative then there is absolute no risk of HIV at all. You are safe and free from it.

Aching pain in both arms may be due to spasm of muscles or any other reason. Take some pain killer with muscle relaxants and you will feel better.

Consult your physician for further management but don't get scared or feared about HIV. For any more query feel free to ask and I am here to help you.

Thank You
