Agree with Dr. B: Your symptoms are not typical of HIV. If you have any concern, get tested. Please note that HIV is an eminently treatable infection. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
