Is HIV fever contagious

[Naseeb]

I got sick last week and went to doctor. He told me that it is ongoing viral infection, many people got same time of fever, lots of coughing and sick.

Then, my entire family got sick and they got same type of fever that I have. lots of cough and sick. So my question is, can HIV related fever be contagious?

Also, I got sick after three months of exposure and I got tested at three months and results were negative.

you dont have hiv, and if you did the symptoms of ars would not be catching, it is ridiculous to even state this. please read tramsission and ars of hiv infection.

Oh my :))))))) this is like the "trembling finger.....let's get tested" worried wells get. How in the world could you pass your family symptoms of ARS when they're not infected???
(supposing that you were, witch you're not)

no...fever from hiv is not contagious.  it is not an airborne virus like the common cold or flu

I guess you missed my entire question. But, Lizzie is right though. My question was that if someone has HIV related fever then anyone else in his/her family member will also get same type of fever? Is it contagious like a general flu?

There is no point in waiting for six months to get tested unless you are cancer patient or injected drug user.

[LIZZIE LOU]

there is no need for further testing naseeb.

listen to what your doctor told you...it is the cold and flu season.

you are conclusively negative :)

accept it and move on,if you still worried take futher test at 6mos then put it behind you.

If  you tested negative at 3 months  You are more than likely fine.  But if you are that worried about it have another one at 6 months.  I know what it's like to be scared.  I would say you can probably put your mind at ease.  I had unprotected sex 7 years ago and I was worried senseless.  I had so much anxiety about it that I acutally produced symptoms.  If you are like me "stay off the internet".  Because HIV is a disease that affects the immune system and pretty much any sympton that you might have could be "hiv related".  Just go have a test.  You will be fine and that will put your mind at ease.
