Brief Answer:
These are not conclusive symptoms!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
These symptoms may be present in HIV but are present in almost all disease conditions. They are not suggestive of any HIV all by themselves. If you still have any doubts, just do another test and see what the results are. maybe with a paper saying you are not HIV positive, you would be more likely to accept and stop having disturbing toughest.
I wish you well.

So you advise me to keep going and forget about other test?
Brief Answer:
To me., yes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
to me, there is no need getting further tests at this time. what matters most is getting you to accept that your tests were conclusive and do not continue to nurse troubling thoughts. If that can be done without further testing, fine but if you also think having a test done would help you get convinced, I recommend you do so.
In all, further testing not necessary unless you want to get super convinced that the last test was for real conclusive and there is no need in being paranoid.
Let me know what your decision is at this point.
