No, even if someone can correctly guess right once in a while, or even fairly often in places where AIDS is common, like San Francisco, you can't possibly make a conclusive diagnosis of AIDS by clinical examination.

That's the whole point of the crituque. Exactly, precisely, the same symptoms can be present in two patients,, indistinguishable from one another except that one is HIV positive and the other is not. The first has AIDS, the other does not. The one that is not HIV positive will be diagnosed with the actual disease present only.

You could avoid posting silly questions like this if you would actually read the reference material at the link.

"You could avoid posting silly questions like this if you would actually read the reference material at the link."

In 6th gradde, my teacher said "Don't be afraid to ask any questions, even if they seem silly. There is no silly question."

Might I point out that using such words as "silly" to describe a question is belittling? Do you honesty think I will go and read the material you suggest after belittling me? If I posted a link here, and said "go to the link, dipwad" would you?
