Question 1

as a follow up lip herpes, ganglion on neck, increased athletes foot, swollen and raw throat behind the uvula, could it be confused with hiv?

Accepted Answer

HIV disease: If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to HIV you should go and be tested as quickly as is feasible.  Hopefully this will be negative but if not, early diagnosis and management are best.  The elements of "illness" that you have had sound like coincidence rather than immune deficiency.

Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
