Doctor Questions COIVD-19

Does this mean I have HIV?

I'm having body aches, a sore throat, and fatigue. Does this mean I have HIV? I recently had Covid but got over it weeks ago. I also had Trichomonas but took meds and recovered. I'm just nervous I got HIV.

Your symptoms could indicate that you got HIV. But, they could also indicate that you have a cold. If you are at risk for HIV, you should get tested for HIV. If you do have HIV, additional testing may be needed to see if you should start medication. You may want to get tested for other sexually transmitted diseases while getting tested for HIV.
