Flu-like symptoms: These can be a manifestation of acute HIV infection, along with others. They can also be due to many other things. Be realistic. If you were exposed to HIV go to the doctor and be tested. Early therapy is highly effective and you can have a normal life expectancy on current meds. Also it will make you feel less anxious if tests are negative. Good luck.
