i've had a lot of experiences, most unprotected ones.
i've read an article on Yahoo Health that if i'll have these "flu-like" symptoms then i am infected with it.... but ever since i started having sex i never had fever and colds... should i rely on this?
or should i get tested? Do you think i'm HIV+?

you should get tested. it's always possible you have it, especially if you have multiple partners and unprotected sex.
there is a flu-like prodrome for inital HIV infection, most of the time it's missed because people think it's just a cold. you can't rely on flu-like symptoms as a diagnosis. you need to be tested (but if you are positive, that result may not come back until 6 months after initial infection).

your problems is the way you practice sex;multiple partners and unprotected.If no change soon or later you will pick up hiv virus.Blood test is only public health concern.Early test or late test will not save your life.Even now the test is negative does not neam your are free of infection,because it take many weeks to develop the result after you exposure to this virus.

Don't hesitate...get tested!!......Let me tell you the best reason why?....regardless of the results, the power is in the knowledge of knowing what ur status is and taking the necessary steps thereafter....it only takes one sexual encounter to get a STD, and most people DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS for years, and look very healthy....knowledge is power for health---GET TESTED!

Get tested nobody on here can tell you , if your HIV+. Know your status because say if you were HIV+ , you could of not knowingly infected all or some of your other partners. SILENCE = DEATH.
Get tested , it can save your life. For more info on testing sites , and STI/AIDS awarness please visit http://www.ashastd.org/
