what are some ways to know your at risk of HIV?

hello, im a 16yr girl.
im not proud to say that ive had 15 sex partners already & use protection with only 5 .
my oral sex life is more than 15 partners. ive never gotten tested only because i dont want my parents to know , my mother and sisters know ive done it with just one guy tho. im scared & this past week i havent been feeling myself at all. i got sick & feeling really light headed, weak, massive headaches , fainting scares. im not sure what has been going on but i told my mom i want lab work done on me and cat scans . but im scared. what if my blood results come out not what i want or they find something wrong going on in my brain. what if i do have HIV or a disease.? and they have to know my who sex life , then how will i tell my parents the truth ? i worry alot. im a smart girl and has a very strong and good head on her shoulders, i just have a horrible past that got me to become who i am today. help?

there are clinics where you can go test anonymously.  call your local health department and talk to them.

having unprotected sex can lead to not only hiv, but other stds as well.  

you need to test and THEN you need to remember this:

until you are in a monogamous relationship where BOTH of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms for vaginal/anal intercourse.  sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.

(stop letting boys use you)

Your parents are going to find out one way or another. The only way to know if you have had an exposure is by testing.
