A member asked:
If he had hiv for 8 yrs (dnt want 2 b tested) became sick with tonsillopharyngitis and was ok after taking antibiotics, it means he doesnt have hiv?

HIV: No. One can have HIV infection for many many years without its producing discernible symptoms and those will usually be due to opportunistic illnesses manifesting themselves because of profound impairment of the patients immune system (AIDS).
