HIV SYMPTOMS

HIV infection comes in three stages. The first stage is called acute infection or conversation, and it typically happens within two to six weeks after exposure or becoming infected. This is when the body's immune system puts up a fight against HIV. The symptoms of acute infection look similar to those of other viral illnesses and are often compared to those of the flu. The symptoms may last a week or two and then completely go away as the virus goes into a non-symptomatic stage. Symptoms related to acute HIV(when a person is first infected) are often flu-like. They include: 1) Diarrhea 2) Fever 3) Headache 4) Mouth Sores 5) Swollen lymph glands 5) Sore throat 6) Rashes and itching of different types 7) Night Sweats 8) Fatigue 9) Weight loss
