HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, can present with a variety of symptoms, depending on the stage of infection.  

Acute HIV Infection (Primary Infection):

  • Flu-like symptoms: fever, chills, rash, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes.  
  • May occur 2-4 weeks after exposure.  
  • Some people may experience no symptoms.  

Chronic HIV Infection (Clinical Latency):

  • No noticeable symptoms for many years.
  • The virus continues to replicate, slowly weakening the immune system.  

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome):

  • Severe damage to the immune system.  
  • Opportunistic infections: pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, etc.  
  • Cancers: Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma.  
  • Weight loss, fever, night sweats, persistent fatigue.  
  • Neurological problems: dementia, memory loss.  

It’s important to remember that the only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, talk to your doctor about getting tested. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve health outcomes.
