Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
gallbaldder attacks are not sigs of hiv infection. also, the symptoms of HIV are the same for both gay and hetero people. If you have any doubts the only reason to rule this out is to do testing. ALso, he should check his gallladder by US to see is there any pathology.
Wish you good health. Regards
