Flu, cold or HIV: It could be a flu, the HIV its not presented so quick, in fact if you want to make a blood test to get out of dudes, its recommended to wait a period of 3 months (90 days) to get an accurate result. However if you had risk relationships before, it will be good to make the test anyway. Another thing would be to be alert of urinary symtoms, pain, urethral discharge, urgency, cloudy or bloody urine.

Get tested. : You should be tested at least once a year. Sexually active gay and bisexual men may benefit from more frequent testing (for example, every 3 to 6 months). Pleas click on this link: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/hivrisk/ and Find free, fast, & confidential HIV testing near you
