Mariana,

As I mentioned in the response you cited. The kinds of symptoms described can be from many things, not only HIV. So, after HIV infection has been eliminated as a possibility, other tests need to be done to find out the cause of chronic symptoms. Sometimes other diagnoses, such as lupus, diabetes, tuberculosis, cancer (including lymphoma), hepatitis, lyme disease, etc can be the cause. Sometimes depression can cause these kinds of symptoms. It is best not to focus on something like HIV after all the tests have been negative and to have a more broad evaluation, so that the true diagnosis is not missed.

Best, Joe
