What Are The Symptoms Of HIV?

iv been in a lesbian relationship with my girlfriend for 3 yrs and we're both in our early 20s and have only had sex with women, she was born premature and has been frequently going in and out of hospitals for being sick, doctors told her that her immune system isnt the greatest, last year and the year before that she got pretty sick about 4 times, the longest she was sick was about two months, shes gotten sick two times this year but hasnt been contagious, the last time she saw a doctor he told her that he didnt think she was a risk for having hiv but asked her if she would be ok with getting tested for hiv, she agreed but he didnt run the test, they test for mono which was negative as always so they just called it a viral infection and sent her on her way as always. The reason im so concerned is that some of her sysmptoms( fever,chills, swollen lymph nodes in neck, colds that incluce sever coughing, headaches everyday, colds that arent contagious, and thrush which she claims to have come and go since she was a kid) are the same as hiv symptoms and shes also claimed to have had sex with 20 girls, should i be worried?
