HI,
Welcome to HCM.
Red dots, Burning arm, diarrhea, running nose for more than month are all common symptoms for anybody to have. Nothing is specific for HIV infection. Only getting tested for HIV can only either rule out or confirm HIV infection. Without getting depressed, plan for the test and rule out HIV.
