| Response from Dr. Horwath
 You are describing symptoms that are common in children (fever, cough, etc). These are not reasons to suspect HIV infection in a 3 year old. At the age of 3, peri-natal infection is the only likely source. If his mother is HIV+, then he should have had an HIV test already. If she is not, then he doesn't need one. | ||||||||
