Bothering question about HIV!

If you see the certain symptoms of HIV (lets say after 2 weeks of exposure or 3 months after exposure) does it mean that if you get tested your HIV test results will be conclusive? My primary concern is that if you see the definite symthoms on your body does it mean it antibodies have already increased in your body and can be detected by blood test?

symptoms of a recent infection are the same symptoms of MANY common, every day illnesses.  that is why hiv cannot be diagnosed by symptoms.

the ONLY way to know IF you had symptoms of infection is by testing positive.  at that point you can say, "hhhuuummmmmmm".

you could have continued your questions on your post instead of sending me a pm.

once again...the only way to know if the symptoms you are experiencing are hiv related, is by testing positive.
