How does a person know if he/she is infected with HIV?
A. The only way to know your HIV status for sure is to be tested. Immediately after infection, some people may develop mild, temporary flu-like symptoms or persistent swollen glands, but even if you look and feel healthy, you may be infected. The only way to determine for sure whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection. You cannot rely on symptoms to know whether or not you are infected with HIV.
