Are Sore Throat With Sporadic Cough And Clogged Ears Symptoms Of HIV?

Hi. I am a flight attendant and while I was flying yesterday, my right ear got clogged. It has been like that since and now I also have a sore throat with sporadic cough and phlegm. Today would be the 10th day after possible exposure. I am really afraid that this could be hiv. I ve been reading about it and these sound like possible early symptoms. I am really nervous.
