&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However, some people may not feel sick during acute HIV infection. These symptoms do not mean you have HIV. Other illnesses can cause these same symptoms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;See a healthcare provider if you have these symptoms and think you may have been exposed to HIV.&amp;nbsp;Getting tested&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;HIV is the only way to know for sure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
