What you are afraid of is acute retroviral syndrome, a flu-like sickness due to HIV infection.
Symptoms of ARS, usually appears 2 to 4 weeks following initial infection, but, not the day after the possible exposure.
There is no need to worry about your headache and runny nose being related to HIV infection.
