Having gay sex increases chances of spreading HIV infection. initial symptom of hiv aids is like a common flu like symptoms you can not differentiate from other viral infections. so you have to go for laboratory test. P24 antigen test will give positive results even when viral antibodies are not developed. western blot analysis is confirmaotry test but it requires some time to virus to grow.
