Why do I feel that It's HIV - Runny / Stuffy Nose / Ear Pain

For last 3 days my symptoms are getting worse, it all started with ear pain, then stuffy nose, than runny nose, than headaches, then pain in the rib cage  on both side, then pain on the kidneys on the right hand side, and know the watery eyes, when I blow my nose.

Usually, I get better in 3 days or so, this is over 3 days. It seems like immune system is losing the battle...

I am just concern, how can I tell my family members, how do I tell them ?

I have no idea what that is on your arm.  Might be allergy related - I don't know.  Its not an std, though.

If you did say it earlier, I apologize.

I thought I had mention that I had Received oral sex, not gave. I am seen  a doctor and he keeps telling me that its my allergies, says we will do a test later on since I already had good amount of test run on me over the weekend, says it may raised a red flag with the insurance companies.

Can you tell me what are small little white bumps that itch all over the place are ???? I get them on my arm alot.

Sorry, if I had not mention that earlier.

OK look.  You really should test.  You had oral sex.  The risks are SO LOW that you got it - and I am saying so low because you haven't said if you received or gave the oral sex.  If you received it, its NO RISK.

You need to go test.  There is absolutely no sense in sitting around worrying about how you are going to tell your family, etc., when you don't even know you have it.  Can you see that this isn't all that logical?

In any case, you need to be evaluated by your doctor for these symptoms you have.  If you have kidney issues that aren't treated, you could have some urinary tract damage that might be permanent.
