I am 20 years old, female. I have been having high fever that comes and goes since 4 days with no other symptoms other than sharp headache and weakness. Fever goes up to 102.5. I took dolo650 only for fever

Female | 20

It sounds like you may be dealing with a viral infection that’s given you a high fever, headache, and weakness. Viruses can really knock you out. Keep in mind to drink lots of water and get some rest. Taking dolo650 for fever is good. If your fever doesn’t go down or if it becomes hard to breathe or you feel pain in your chest, then it’s time to see a doctor or go to the hospital.

The symptoms you mentioned such as a sore throat, headache, and swollen glands can be signs of many things, not just HIV. It’s great that you took the test and even better that it came back negative. These signs are sometimes caused by an attack of virus or bacteria.
