What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of HIV Infection?

Hi. I've had 8 sex partners in my life, they were all 'serious relationships' and over the course of time, when i started to trust a person, we stopped using protection. I know it's stupid, now when i'm lookinng back at my life, i am starting to realize how wrong it was but i cannot change anything now. Not that I doubt any of them but really can we trust someone nowadays? I'd like to get HIV tested but I'm too scared of the results. What are the chances, how do you think? They were all not some random guys but people from good families, environment.... I just want a fresh start and need to be sure that I am healthy. But what if I'm not? Will there be a sense to live?

First of all you nred to tested for hiv. Go for hiv testing once. If it comes positive then go for cd 4 count.and take treatment accordingly. If it is negative then its ok you are fine.but go for repeated testing or confirmatory testing like pcr necause you may be in window period.ans from now onwards use safe sex practice with single faithful partner.thats all for you. Enjoy the life. Best of luck for your future.
