Not HIV/ARS: Congratulations on having excellent HIV control. With these lab results, it is not possible that HIV or ARS is causing your symptoms. Perhaps a side effect from the ARVs? Or something else entirely. Discuss with the doctor providing your HIV care.

Yes: If you have had these symptoms for a while it is likely the antiretrovirals. It is also possible that you can develop these symptoms as you use them. They have many difficult side effects. If you have a fever and these symptoms are new please see your doctor.
