Hello,
I am a 40 year old male, I have had some what of a wild past, I can not describe any particular incident of risk but I am sure over the years there may have been some level of risk. I am very active and play sports and lately I have been getting injuries and/or bruises that seem to be taking longer to heal. I also have a prickly feeling in my skin from time to time and while in the sun with a shirt on it seems to much hotter and uncomfortable where most others seem comfortable. Also I have always tanned easy and I seem to burn quicker in the sun. Is any of this related to any phase of HIV?

Thanks! Yes, getting older... :)
So none of those, I hate to call the "symptoms", would relate to any phase of HIV?

if you have had unprotected intercourse in the past...you should test to know your status.

Also, I forgot to mention, I am experiencing knee and joint pain, Knees tend to hurt while climbing stairs from time to time.
