Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

None of the symptoms mentioned by you are specific for HIV. Those can occur with anybody without HIV. Sleeplessness was due to your anxiety.

Early symptoms of HIV can occur by 4-6 weeks in 50-80% infected individuals as a 'FLU' like symptoms with fever, body pain, sore throat, Lymph node swelling etc. But only a positive HIV test is confirmatory. Nothing else.
