Does having running nose mean you got HIv?

A runny nose is a common symptom of many respiratory illnesses, such as the common cold or flu, and is not a symptom of HIV. HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is spread through contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. Common symptoms of HIV include fever, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. If you are concerned that you may have HIV, it is important to see a healthcare provider for testing and treatment.
