A member asked:
I was told at the hospital that i have a viral infection , and that it's a virus. does it mean it's same as hiv??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If it was HIV, you'd have been told. Being told "it's a virus" means that the more serious causes were ruled out and recovery is likely soon.
