Answer
Dear Pali:

Peace.  These are symptoms of literally hundreds if not thousands of potential illnesses.  HIV cannot be diagnosed through such symptoms - HIV is diagnosed through testing.  A simple test can alleviate your fears and provide you with the knowledge you need to take charge of your health - and see a health provider with your concerns.  Please do so.

Best to you and yours.
