Q: sinusitis as HIV symptom ?

Hello, I am very scared...I am a teacher and picked up 3 head colds this year from the kids- the last one developed into a sinus infection that has lingered on for about 2 months...I think I'm just about beating it now (didn't take anything for it). I researched sinusitis and see it's early symptomatic hiv and I'm terrified. I would have contracted it about 11 years ago- maybe more- is it likely that this is my first symptom? Did anyone else experience this?

There is no way of knowing unless and until you get tested.Its fast and easy....get tested. I doubt that its HIV but every one who has ever had sex needs to be tested.HIV can effect any one.
