Is tonsillitis a sign of hiv after 2 months?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
HIV status can be determined by a simple blood test. Tonsillitis is just that, inflammation of the tonsils.

No, not at all. Symptoms rarely are useful in knowing if you have HIV. If you may have been exposed, have a blood test. Nothing else has any meaning at all.

Hi Doc Someone who I was in contact with 7 days ago, just told me they tested positive. I had tonsillitis two days later after being in contact with this person. Could that be a sign of Covid?
