HIV Seroconversion

Can the sore throat associated with HIV ARS induce an ear ache? I have a very inflamed throat and an ear ache which the doctor said was responding to the sore throat. PLEASE quick answer-Thanks SO much.

Ok, still scared though. Could these symptoms be caused by an irritant like cigarette smoke? Is throat inflammation the symptom or is it swollen glands in the throat?

Whether it is realted to ARS is another matter. Symtoms are poor indicators of HIV infection.

ear, nose and throat are all connected.
Though most throat infections are viral (flu, cold) Doctors still prescribe antibiotics for viral thraot infections as aural bacterial infections often follow.

I'd Timmitus for a long time and depite having my ears checkes the T persisted. I t wasn't until I visited the ENT Consultant, he looked in my throat and saw a lump that I got rid of the T after surgery.
