I Sometimes Have A Sore Throat. Is A Sore Throat A Symptom Of HIV?
It's always been in the back of my mind whether I have it or not. This is especially since my brother has died of AIDS. Although I have not had many partners, the 3 guys that I have been intimate with have had several partners. I've been tested several times during check ups but never received the results. I figured, if they were positive that the hospital would contact me.

You are probably right about the hospital contacting you if you were HIV positive. It would be best if you actually called to find out if you are positive for the HIV virus or not.
In short: HIV means that you have been exposed to the virus which can lead to AIDS. A sore throat is NOT a symptom of HIV. What happens with HIV is that your body will have a harder time getting rid of the sore throat as it is an immunodeficiency virus.
Please go to the library or wherever you can to read up about HIV. The more educated and prepared you are about this virus the less frightened you will be about it.
Remember "Knowledge is power". Ignoring the problem doesn't help.
Good luck to you.
