Question
Am I HIV-positive?
20 June 2008. Related: All topics, HIV testing, HIV transmission.
I sometimes have cold which comes and goes. During winter I had cough and sore throat every month. And I have body pains. Does that mean I am HIV- positive?
Answer
You won’t know your HIV status unless you take an HIV test.
There are millions of people around the world with your ‘symptoms’ and they are not HIV-positive.
We advise everybody with an active sexual life to get tested regularly-say every 6 months.
Kind regards
