Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and will do my bestto help you. Your symptoms may due to various other reasons besides HIV like Infectious Mononucleosis, Pharyngitis, Viral Exanthem or any other chronic infections. I would suggest to get tpurself worked up which may include complete blood count, physical examination of the rashes, blood serology for viral conditions and other tests as indicated. You should consult a doctor so that the cause of your problems could be found out and proper management be initiated.
Hope it helps
