I was just wondering how long it takes to
start showing symptoms of HIV; i've been
having white coated dry mouth, insomnia
(falling asleep at around 12 at night and
waking up at 3 int he morning and not
being able to sleep for more than another
hour), and I just got over fatigue and
swollen lymph nodes. I possibly got
infected 3 months ago and everyone's
telling me not to worry because it takes
years to even know you have it.
Is this true? Could this be the result of
a candida crisis since I started eating
alot of garlic and cutting out sugar??
Edit: also I forgot to say that my tonsils
are red and swollen, and i'm starting to
develope reddish raised areas on the glans
around the urethral opening.

Yes, it's true that many people do not
develop symptoms until years after an HIV
infection. Some people have no symptoms
for ten years. However, some people do
develop symptoms much sooner than that.
Everyone is different and responds to an
HIV infection in different ways.
The problem with HIV is symptoms is that
most of them are pretty vague and could be
signs of many types of infections. So you
just can't diagnose yourself. The only
way to know is to take a test.
