HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your symptoms may be related to the common cold and not to transmission of HIV.
Acute infection of HIV can result in no symptoms or can cause flu like symptoms such as muscle ache or pain, fever, sore thoat, stomach upset.
In addition there is a risk of transmission of other sexually transmitted infections.
You may want to consider having yourself screened for HIV and the other infections ( chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B) to ensure that none of them are present.
In most cases unless the tests are done, then persons continue to worry because they are unsure of their status, it would be best to be tested.
I hope this helps
