Answer 1

No I don't think so, but I hope you learned something from this, you do have some kinda virus, but I don't think it's HIV, Please be smarter in the future, and next time you get the urge to have sex, think about how you feel now, thank god you aren't pregnant....you really don't need that right now!!! Please use protection, it only takes a split second and you life is over!

Answer 2

HIV usually doesn't have alot of symptoms, especially early on like the first few months after you get it, possibly years. The main symptom of HIV is the diseases you catch that you wouldn't catch with a normal immune system. It's possible you just have a coincidental cold. Funny story that happened to me was a herpes scare, because I had just gotten done giving oral sex to this guy, and later that day I felt this weird blister on the inside of my cheek, that stung. So i went to the ER lol because I was trippin, and they told me the blisters started out as a symptom of a common virus that was going around that I had, not an STD, just sort of like the flu, and that while I was engaging in oral sex the inside of my cheek being sucked in between my teeth (cus when you make the sucking face that's what happens) had made the blisters that were already there that I didn't know about worse. Sometimes weird coincidences just happen, and she should have told you before you had sex that she was HIV positive, that's bullshit and I'd be pissed the **** off. But condoms are pretty effective against HIV, I'm willing to wager that you're fine.

Answer 3

Its possible to be HIV symptoms. In order for your doctor to find out if u do have HIV, did they actually took blood out of u and say they were going to check HIV. U would have to sign a consent form in order for them to have your permission to check HIV on u. Everyone is different from their symptoms, because some people can live with it for years and have no symptoms. Or u might be pregnant because u did said u missed a period. Well Im sorry to hear that u were going through this and I hope u feel better and I wish u the best of luck. ♥ Gigi :-)

Answer 4

Many people who are infected with HIV do not have any symptoms at all for many years. But for those who do, what are the symptoms of HIV? First...three things to keep in mind.

Important Fact #1
No one should assume they are infected if they have any of these symptoms. Each of these symptoms can be related to other illnesses.

Important Fact #2
The only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection.

Important Fact #3
You cannot rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms of AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other illnesses.
http://aids.about.com/cs/prevention/a/knowhiv.htm

AIDS is a medical diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the CDC.

The Symptoms of HIV Infection
rapid weight loss

dry cough

recurring fever or profuse night sweats

profound and unexplained fatigue

swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck (lymphadenopathy)

diarrhea that lasts for more than a week

white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat (thrush)

pneumonia

red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids (Kaposi Sarcoma)

memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders



The earliest symptoms of HIV infection occur while your body begins to form antibodies to the virus (known as seroconversion) between six weeks and three months after infection with the HIV virus. Those who do show early HIV symptoms will develop flu-like symptoms. This can include: fever, rash, muscles aches and swollen lymph nods and glands. However, for most people, the first symptoms of HIV will not be apparent.

Although the infection is slowly taking hold of your body, the majority of those infected with HIV will be asymptomatic. Only by being tested for HIV can you know for sure if you have been infected. Yet, despite the absence of HIV symptoms, you are still highly contagious during this time making it very much a possibility to infect others, including your baby.

Symptoms of AIDS
To be diagnosed with AIDS, your T4 cell count must drop to below 200 per cubic millimeter (in healthy adults, a T4 cell count of 1,000 or more per millimeter is normal) or be infected with an opportunistic infection. Opportunistic infections are so named because they take advantage of your weakened immune system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a list of those illnesses that are deemed to be opportunistic infections and lead to an AIDS diagnosis. This list includes, but is not limited to:
Kaposi’s Sarcoma
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Candidiasis of the esophagus, trachea, bronchi or lungs
Toxoplasmosis of the brain
Severe bacterial infections
Invasive cervical cancer
Lymphoma
Recurrent pneumonia
Additionally, vision loss, nerve damage and brain impairment can also occur. Signs of brain deterioration include troubles thinking, loss of co-ordination and balance and behavioral changes.

While there are treatments to help prolong the life of those infected with the AIDS virus, there is currently no AIDS cure. The best way to protect yourself is by taking preventative measures.
