HIV signs and symptoms
Posted: 04-19-08 16:39pm

alright. i've GOT TO KNOW THIS. i've read on here that symptoms of hiv could be runs, night sweats, sore throat, sores and the flu. i'm a little worried of my health because i've had a couple of these conditions and a couple more. i've had softer feces, not full out runs, but it was softer for a few days. i've had a sore throat, but managed to get rid of it. if i did have hiv, would i have gotten worse conditions? would i have had the flu, instead of just softer feces? if i had the night sweats would they last for a while, and be severe, instead of only being one night and a little bit of sweat? would i feel totally unhealthy or would i still feel normal? (despite the conditions, i never felt sick) i also had sore nipples for a couple days, and my hands started to dry out.
could any of these conditions be related to a bladder infection?
do different people get different symptoms? other than the ones that are mentioned on here?

The symptoms of HIV are SO SIMILAR to many other illnesses (and even normal conditions), there is no way to tell just by thinking of your symptoms. Also, HIV can be dormant for quite a while.

If you think you might have gotten HIV, you need to get tested. That is the only way.
