Arthritis and UTI: The symptoms you describe may be related to many different conditions which require a workup by your provider. For example, there is an autoimmune condition called reiter's syndrome, which is a reactive arthritis triggered by an infection in the body, usually the intestines, urinary tract, or genitals. An association between reither's and HIV is known to occur. You should definitely followup.

Do an HIV test first: The most diagnostic test for hiv/aids is to test for the actual virus or antibodies for the virus. While some clinical findings may raise suspicion for hiv/aids, getting the test done is the most direct route to a diagnosis.
