Hello,
Since you are having some symptoms, Elisa test can be followed by an HIV differentiation assay to confirm HIV infection. In the meantime, get clinically examined by a GP, get skin test, blood tests, imaging tests and biopsy of the lymph nodes under jaw done to detect any other medical condition associated with the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
