For diagnosis, see your doctor.

Answer 2

It can be. The actual HIV acute infection period (which is the "recent HIV infection") often shows no symptoms at all. The swollen lymph nodes, the rash, the fever, and other flu-like symptoms are often only present in those who already have a weakened immune system, which explains why children almost NEVER get it.

Go to your doctor, and get a Rapid-HIV test (on the spot, 15-30 minutes) done. Then, get it confirmed with an ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmuneSorbent Assay) test. Your doctor may also want to supplement the ELISA with a Western blot test to guarantee a positive or a negative result.
