No!

Your vibe or sensitivity or intuition isn't going to help you with this! People who are smug about their ability in this area are sick and dying -- or already dead.

Generally, people who have HIV may not show outward signs of being sick because it can take up to 7-10 years after someone has gotten the virus to show signs or begin to get ill. This is why a majority of people with HIV do not know that they have the virus. AIDS, the later effects of the virus is different and the person may be very ill and suffering from opportunistic infections at that point since their immune system is so depleted.

The following are some of the symptoms that may serve as an indicator of HIV infection:

Rapid weight loss

Drying cough

Recurring fever or profuse night sweats

Profound and unexplained fatigue

Swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck

Diarrhea that lasts more than one week

White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat

Pneumonia

Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids

Memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders



It is difficult to asses infection based solely on these symptoms alone, for every virus will affect each infected individual differently.

GET A BLOOD TEST!!!!!!!! THE DOCTOR WILL NOT TELL YOUR PARENTS OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!!!!! IT'S BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!!
GET A BLOOD TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(signs: a weakened immune system. you notice that you get common colds and sick more often, and it takes longer to get well each time)

----------
but here's the deal: in the first 6months, you will likely notice ZERO symtoms! In the first 6yrs, your immune system will gradually go from 100% down to 50%, at about the sixth year, your immune system will rapidly decline from 50% down to about 10% by the 8th year. As soon as this rapid decline begins, it is known as AIDS! Full-blown AIDS, as most refer to it! THE SOONER A PERSON IS CONFIRMED POSITIVE AND THE SOONER THE TREATMENT IS STARTED, THE GREATER CHANCE THAT THAT 6th year can be extended to around 15yrs (common, today), but you MUST start as early as possible!!!!

Only a positive test result. HIV + people look normal until the advanced (later) stages

emaciated looking, lost a lot of weight, hair, rashes on the skin, yellowish color to the eyes cheeks sucked, gaunt, haggard,sallow color of skin and just totally a very dismal picture of a very sick man . Aids is a disease that shouldn't be taken lightly as it's a ravaging disease. and a death sentence . and nobody deserves this kind of death.

Short answer--no. If you have to ask this question then you need to be tested. You can find help at your local health department if you don't want your regular doctor to be aware of your doubts. Please seek help soon. Not knowing will only cause you more trouble. Good Luck.
