If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
Symptoms are NEVER a good indicator about whether you have HIV or not. Some people show no symptoms at all, so just because you don't match typical HIV symptoms that does not mean you are infected (similarly, if your symptoms match those of typical ARS, that does not mean you are infected). The only way to tell is to get an HIV test. Period.
