you cannot know you have AIDS unless you see a doctor for a complete history, physical exam, and appropriate blood work!.
please be informed that fatigue, and "frequent colds" mean absolutely nothing!. Normal people get those -- people with AIDS have absolutely no symptoms at all, and do not know it unless they are tested!.
I would discourage you from looking at any long lists of "typical" symptoms, like the one posted above!. First of all, it is not true that AIDS patients get these symptoms - but most of us WITHOUT AIDS do ! So a list like that is going to do nothing but cause you needless worry!.
Do NOT look for a set of physical findings, nor to any particular symptoms as a way to diagnose AIDS -- a doctor visit and blood testing are necessary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HIV (the virus that can lead to AIDS) often has NO symptoms for several years!. (Some people have flu like symptoms within a few months of being infected, but that is rare!.) The only way to find out if you have HIV is to get tested!. **Once someone is infected, they can transmit the virus to others, even if they have no symptoms!.
HIV damages the immune system by killing the cells our bodies use to fight infections (CD4 cells)!. When the CD4 count drops to 200 or less, the diagnosis changes from HIV to AIDS!. As that cell count drops, the person becomes more vulnerable to other infections, which they can then die from because their bodies can not fight them off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
