HIV TEST NEEDED OR NOT
Dear Team,
I m new in this application. I like to know whether I have hiv or not. For 1 month I m feeling not well like slight fever tiredness and all. I thought this is the symptoms of COVID 19. When I check for corona test it comes negative. When I thought to see a doctor I explain him all the problems I m facing. He told me to take a blood test for Ige Antibody test. The result comes it comes 450 higher than the normal range. The normal range it shows 0-250.
I just want to know I m living with HIV or not. It is a normal allergy or not.
Please help me

That is an allergy test and an allergy test will tell you nothing about your HIV status.
If you have had a risk for HIV, you should test for HIV. An HIV test is the only test that can determine if you have HIV or not.

Risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.
There is no other activity that you can think of that would put you at risk for HIV. If you have not done either of those two activities, there is NO reason to test for HIV, because you cannot possibly have HIV.

What About STD Test should be done or not
Dear CurfewX
I just want to know I have done sex with using a condom with a girl (MAY 2020). But her HIV or STD/STI infection is unknown.
I m little bit afraid do i need to take test for HIV OR STD/STI

Sex with a condom is not a risk. Please re-read the only two HIV risks I posted above.
You can ask about STDs here: https://www.medhelp.org/forums/STDs---STIs/show/98, but you have already been advised that you had no risk for HIV, so there is no reason to ask about HIV again.
