Top 10 Symptoms of HIV & AIDS
1) Depression
Everyone has had days where they were feeling a little "blue". We all have been "down in the dumps" or felt "blah" But when these feelings last longer than a couple weeks you may be suffering from depression.
2) Diarrhea
Diarrhea can be a life threatening problem if not treated correctly and rapidly.
3) Thrush
We have all had morning mouth...that stale, pasty, bad tasting yuk that coats your mouth each morning. But never fear because with one good brushing, your mouth is as fresh as a daisy. But what if the bad taste and and white coating doesn't go away with a simple brushing? Then you may have the most common HIV opportunistic infection...thrush.
4) Weight Loss
Weight loss is a common problem in HIV and AIDS. Unless you are actively trying to lose weight by exercising and watching what you eat, weight loss is a serious problem.
5) Lipodystrophy
People infected with HIV are living longer and more productive lives. A large part of the reason is the introduction of medication combinations into standard HIV care. But with the benefits of medications also comes some unforeseen problems. One such problem is fat redistribution syndrome or lipodystrophy.
6) Lactic Acidosis
This emerging problem can make you sick, miserable, and can even be fatal.
7) Sinus Infections
Your head feels congested and full. The pressure behind your eyes makes it hard to concentrate. The pounding in your head and face is relentless. The dreaded sinus infection.
8) Fatigue
Fatigue is a common problem in HIV and AIDS. To treat fatigue, one must decide what is causing the problem.
9) Nausea / Vomiting
Nausea is not only aggravating and can make you feel sick, when associated with vomiting it can be dangerous.
10) Burning and Tingling of the Feet and Hands
That burning in your feet can be very painful.
That's my Best Answer!
But only an HIV Test will confirm if you are HIV+ or not. Good luck!

No.
There are no outward, easily visible symptoms specific to HIV. The only way to know if you have HIV is through a test (blood or otherwise) which specifically tests for HIV.
HIV does not cause nasal congestion nor sneezing. Nor does it cause sore throats, bumps on the skin in any configuration, nor headaches.
There have been reports of severe flu-like symptoms shortly after seroconversion (that is, contracting HIV) but those symptoms can not be relied upon for a diagnosis. Chances are, if you have flu-like symptoms, you have the flu.

As the others have already said the only way you can tell if you have the HIV virus, is a test. Only a doctor can diagnose that you have AIDS, the disease that HIV can cause. It is possible to have HIV, but NOT AIDS.
During the acute infection, which can last for one or two weeks, the person can have flu-like symptoms. Thats really the only time that these symptoms are experienced.

No. But sneezing and congestion can take place after the disease has started to shut down the immune system. By then, you'll know you have AIDS.

no
you do know that most of the time some one who has aids, does not show any signs for a long time after getting aids, but they can still give it to others,
and when you finally start seeing or being affected by aids, it is way to late...
but no, you may be allergic to something around you or becoming down with a cold...
good luck
