Brief Answer:
Sero-negative polyarthralgia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

It seems that you have sero-negative polyarthralgia/polyarthritis.

Infections that may cause polyarticular symptoms include HIV infection; hepatitis B and C infections. You have also mild hypochromic microcytic anemia, which indicates chronic illness or inflammation. You may undergo anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and serum HBsAg and anti-HCV antibody test.

Regards
