Not typically: Why? Do you think you are HIV positive? If you think you are, get tested. No matter what, do not engage in risky sexual or drug use behaviors.

Unlikely: Chest tightness and back pain are symptoms of many medical conditions. However, it's not common symptoms for HIV infection. You would need a blood test to see if you have HIV virus.
