Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be HIV; Get ELISA for HIV antibodies
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Chances are unlikely that you are suffering from HIV because of following two reasons:
1. HIV progresses slowly
2. HIV induced infections does NOT respond to ordinary antibiotics and it progresses.
I would suggest you to relax and for your own relaxation & satisfaction go for ELISA against HIV antibodies. Rapid test can also be done for HIV screening. It is an immunoassay used for screening, and it produces quick results, in 30 minutes or less. Rapid tests use blood or oral fluid to look for antibodies to HIV.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
