wow really? cause online they say all these "symptoms" and ive been really freaking out when i looked up tonsilitious and swollen glands that I might have something...and I am pretty sure I made myself sick over it. my doctor said that I was and that the blood test (just a regular blood test came out that I have a bacteria) I guess that could easily infect lympnodes and tonsils but I figured I would ask to see if these were common symptoms...If I test for it this week is it not accurate? since my last unprotected sex encounter was about a week ago?

No and HIV has no specific symptoms. The only way to know your status is by testing.
