There is no way anyone here can tell you if you have HIV. NO WAY.

If you feel you've engaged in behavior that puts you at risk for HIV then get tested. Symptoms do not indicate HIV. ONLY GETTING TESTED will indicate HIV.

This site is CDC frequently asked questions (FAQ's) [url="http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faqs.htm"]http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faqs.htm[/url]

This site is the CDC National AID Hotline. They can answer your questions. [url="http://www.ashastd.org/nah/"]http://www.ashastd.org/nah/[/url]

I'd like to point out that if you're concerned about your HIV status, please try to limit your research to these sites. They're as "official" as they come and have pretty much withstood the test of time (and statistics).

Clicking every result returned from a websearch on HIV symptoms will drive you crazy very quickly, so don't do it!
