Concerned about HIV after unprotected sex

I am here because I am concerned I have HIV. Over the years I have had many partners unprotected. I believe I may have caught HIV through a current partner because of the symptoms he is having. I have been having night sweats, swollen Lymph nodes, I am constantly getting headaches, I have a rash that won’t go away and it literally came out of no where. I am having constant candida and bacterial infections. I normally get over colds pretty quickly but lately it seems like it’s harder to get over these colds. I have kids of appetite, and I’m always tired. I also have Diarrhea, and I keep getting kidney infections after clearing them.

You may have HIV and you may not. There only way to find out is to take a simple blood exam. The Candida infections that you have may imply that your immune system isn't functioning well, and you must find out why, so you can get treatment. Even if you're really infected with HIV, you can live with it a long happy live, but first you must check yourself! GOOD LUCK! And I and the community are here to hear from you. Please keep us posted

Hey I agree with the above person. Go get tested and at least that way you’ll know for sure either way. If it is Hiv. Don’t panic it’s not the end of the world. Medicine has caught up and like the above person said. You can live a long happy life. I know the initial shock is hard and you might feel alone. But hey there are ppl that can help. I was born with it and most of my teens and twenties was me accepting it. Wish I would have had a cooler head back then. Could have had more fun and enjoyed my life more. But such is life.
