Iam wake up with a parotid gland swelling and little pain in the morning is it hiv?only in morning(10min) i don't have any other symptoms.

No: Parotid gland swelling by itself is not a sign of hiv. If it is indeed the parotid gland, and it intermittently swells, it could be an obstruction in the duct of the gland.
