Cold or hiv

Hey man did you see the symptoms to my cold? How do i know that it was a cold and not hiv sickness Teak?

sensitive skin
fever
headache
nightsweats-red flag
red runny eyes
white tongue
cough-phlem/mucus
fatigue
diarhea
weight loss 4-5lbs

I know i tested negative but this is worry some because the only thing left is sweating at night man and thats a red flag man. I've read about people who experience this and then test positive right after, is this what i should expect when i go in for my test ? Worried again really bad chances symptoms wise i've had the most and they have not let up...

Your chalking this all up as ocd? Nothing more than that? You don't think the symptoms were real?

I would have moved on. I don't have an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Based on everything i've posted over the last 6 months or so and all the symptoms experienced. If you were me would you test again or would you have moved on-honestly. Even if you think you were thinking you were most likley negative and ill with something else -or- a co-infection, would'nt you test once more just for piece of mind and to close the gap all together once and for all Teak?

I don't think i'm going to post my upcomig test results either way come February. If i'm positive i'm not going to be able to take all the swipes this forum will be taking at m and.If i'm negative you will all think i put on some type song and dance all for nothing which is fine. Everything i've posted i've experienced, i've lived, no $hit, it's easy to make light of people or try to poke holes but there is no chink in my armmoure because it's all the truth what i've said, every bit of it like it or not believe it or not, it's the truth. Some say my account has eveolved but what you forget is that when i first arrived here i never really told everything, go back and look at what i've said over the last five half months and you will see this. I was initially very careful not to say too much or go into great detail about my exposure because i was afraid i would not be believed, plus the atmosphere was thick with catty responses. It initially made me leery of the forum until i got to know the nature of some and then i opened up, but not until much later on. This may have confused some but that is what happened and those were my symptoms. The thing that bothers me is that if i'am positive i will not be able to state my case for all to see and take away what they wish. I don't want to be picked a part like some of the others i've seen test positive. I just hope i'm not positive to begin with in the first place. I've gotten over my fear of dying anyways, my only concern is for the care of my elderly parents when i'm gone i don't want them to get taken advantage of. For now i will expect the worst and hope for the best, even though i have little hope left in my thoughts my friends....

Your 3 month conclusive negative test is what back up what Xhost has mentioned.
