i recently went to a clinic to get checked out as i was having a few problems, i had an examination and im guessing they took a swab and i also had a urine test. i was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis which was obviously th cause of my problems and was put on antibiotics and that it is all cleared up now. iam really worried that i have hiv as i do have a few symptoms like white tongue, mild fevers, coughing etc. im sure that i have read somewhere that the virus can be detected from the tests and examination i had recently. everything came bk negative though. do you think that if i did have hiv that something would have been abnormal on those results. i am only 17 and cant talk to anyone about this please help.
