Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV, as well as symptoms tell you nothing about your status as told above.

If you are thinking about HIV, test for an answer, Just because your symptoms are not due to HIV, DOES NOT mean you do not have HIV.

if you have had unprotected sex or shared iv drug works and have not tested...then you should do so.  testing is the only way to know one's status.
