Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
That does not look like HIV manifestation.
Diarrhea in HIV last for several days.
It is likely that you had an indigestion or some
other problem rather than HIV.
Its been three years since you had the exposure.
It would be better to do an HIV screening so as to
be certain with your status.
There are rapid tests available that will take you only a
few minutes for your results to be known.
Moreover, it is better to know your HIV status so as to
know exactly what steps further to take.
Hope this helps you
Best regards
Dr Achuo

Hi
Do not fear you do not have any HIV and the diarrhoea might be due to change of food.
You had sexual intercourse 3 years back and generally disease might have shown symptoms by this time if you really have contracted it.
Always be safe and have a protected sex.
HIV is contracted by involving in un protected sexual activity with an HIV positive person.
