Hi,
The only thing you can trust about someone's HIV status is that you have to have his or her report to show. There are many more diseases which are transmitted by physical relations between two person of any sex. You need to have thorough investigations.
There are many symptoms or signs which appears early in the course of STD (sexually transmitted diseases) and then come back only after some period of time may be years later. My advise:
1. Have blood counts
2. Pathological tests for STDs
3. Sonography of Neck and Cytology of the neck node
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Himanshu Dhanak, Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist
