Hello, although I am not a medical professional I will try to offer you as much information as possible. This article is a great start: https://h-i-v.net/symptoms
Have you went to take an HIV test? - Steven (Team Member)Thanks Steven, that was helpful and no I have not. The helpline I contacted advised me to wait at least 10 days to get an accurate result
When would be your 10th day? Have you found a local clinic that you can go to on the 10th day? - Steven (Team Member)

I wonder if you had the opportunity to get tested. The information which Steven provided should have informed you regarding symptoms. We hope that you have found what you need to thrive. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member) It’s probably too soon to tell if you’ve been infected, but go see a doctor and if you are positive start treatment before things start to decline. From experience after I was diagnosed, there was no treatment. Now there’s a lot of hope for people that are diagnosed with HIV get tested.
