Can Sore Throats And Diarrhea Be The Symptoms Of HIV?

Hi I feel like I am ill all the time! I have had tonsilitis 3 times this year and seem to always have sore throats and swollen glands. I quite regulary have diarrhea ( maybe once a week). I am so scared I have an illness. I was looking online at possible causes for my symptoms anf I am scared I have contracted hiv. I had unprotected sex a few years ago and was tested straight after and was fine but now I read that hiv doesnt show up until 3 months. I am really worried.



Thanks
