Recently someone posted that he has Strep and from this was concerned about HIV. Is there any link between HIV and Strep at all? Also, Is there any connection between excessive dandruff and HIV? I have heard that that may be a sign. THanks

According to the AIDS Cult guidelines these are all symptoms of hiv "infection". Warning, many on this board wil tell you this. One who is hiv anti-body positive can never express symptoms according to the cult for they will all be connected with hiv.

A question like this is hard to answer. Anything can be related to HIV if you try hard enough.
Many people do not have any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, have a flu-like illness within a month or so after exposure to the virus. This illness may include fever, headache, tiredness, and enlarged lymph nodes (glands of the immune system easily felt in the neck and groin). These symptoms usually disappear within a week and are often mistaken for those of another viral infection.
One of the major problems is that someone might have a very low risk exposure with someone that they don't know the HIV status of. They then have a totally innocent and in no way related symptom such as a cold, flu, swelling of a lymph node and automatically start to assume that it must be related to the low risk exposure. I have noticed that this happends a great deal around this time of year when colds, flu, strep, dandruf and many other illnesses raise their heads due to the changing climate and season. Once someone starts to focus on HIV being the cause every little pain/ache cough hair that falls out in their mind has to be related to the low risk exposture.
There is no template and no definate signs to determine other then testing if you have HIV. When I sero-converted I had no symptoms, and no signs. No flu, no swolen lymph nodes, nothing. My partner at the time was the same way, nothing. The only reason why we went and got tested was because someone he had recently had sex with tested positive.
I hope that helps.
