Q: is mild sore throat and headache without any fever or any other symptoms seen in people with early hiv symptoms?

: Very unlikely. Symptoms almost never are a useful guide to judge the likelihood of a new HIV infection. These symptoms are far more likely to be from a cold virus. But get tested for HIV if you have been at risk.
