A month or two after HIV has entered their body, 40-90% of the people experience symptoms that resemble flu symptoms, and this is known as acute retroviral syndrome (ARS).



But, in some cases the HIV symptoms don’t appear for years, even decades after the body has been infected.

These are some of the signs that may indicate you are HIV-positive.16 Signs You May Have HIV

Fever

One of the first signs of ARS might be a mild fever, up to about 102 degrees F.

In case you experience the fever, you may also often experience other generally mellow side-effects, such as sore throat, swelling of the lymph organs, weakness etc.

Fatigue

One of the inflammatory responses of your overwhelmed immune system is the feeling of tiredness and lethargy. Fatigue can be an early sign of HIV, but a later one as well.

Throbbing muscles, joint torment, swollen lymph hubs

Lymph hubs are part of the body’s insusceptible framework and are usually kindled in case of a disease. The most part of them is placed in the armpit, the neck and the crotch.

ARS is often confused for the seasonal cold virus, mononucleosis or another viral infectivity, even hepatitis or syphilis.

Sore throat and headache

According to Dr. Horberg, sore throat and headache are frequently recognized as ARS only in context.

One should be aware that the body still hasn’t produced antibodies to HIV, so an antibody test may not pick it up (the antibodies of HIV can be seen in a blood test from a few weeks to few months). One should find some other test options, like the one that detects viral RNA, usually within 9 days of the infections.

Skin rash

Skin rashes can be both early and late HIV/AIDS signs.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

Around 30% to 60% of the people in the early stages of HIV deal with short-term nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, Dr.Malvestutto says.

Weight reduction

Called “guides squandering”, weight reduction is a sign of more propelled illness and can vary between a minor weight reduction to extreme looseness of the bowels.

Dry cough

Ron first noticed that something was wrong with him because of the dry cough. But, he thought it was some kind of allergy. According to Dr.Malvestutto, this cough is typical for patients of HIV who are very ill and could be going on for weeks, with you not seeing the way in which it would be resolved.

Weight reduction and the hack might be a forecast of a genuine disease caused by a germ that wouldn’t cause any troubles if the invulnerable framework was working properly. Other opening diseases include toxoplasmosis, a parasitic contamination that affects the mind; a kind of herpes infection known as cytomegalovirus and yeast contaminations, like thrush for example.

Night sweats

Around 50% of people get night sweats in the early stages of HIV infection, Dr. Malvestutto explains. In the later stages, they become even more common and aren’t related to exercise or the room temperature.

Nail changes

Another sign of HIV contamination are nail changes, such as clubbing (bending and thickening of the nails), staining (dark lines or chestnut lines, placed vertically or on a level plane).

This is mostly the case because of some infectious disease, like Candida for example. According to Dr.Malvestutto, patients with worn out insusceptible frameworks are feebler to contagious contaminations.

Yeast infections

A fungal infection common in the later stages is thrush, mouth infection that is a result of Candida, which is a kind of yeast.

According to Dr.Malvestutto, it is one of the commonest funguses that cause yeast infection in women. Most frequently, they appear in the mouth, or the esophagus, and cause difficulties when swallowing.

Perplexity or trouble concentrating

Another sign of HIV-related dementia can be subjective issues, which appear mostly in the later stages of the disease. Perplexity and trouble concentrating aside, the AIDS-related dementia may also include problems with the memory and the behavior, like bitterness or irritability.

Cold sores or genital herpes

Oral herpes (cold sores) and genital herpes are an indication of both ARS and HIV in the late stages. Having herpes can also represent a risk factor for contracting HIV, since genital herpes may cause ulcer and thus make it easier for the HIV to enter the body during sex. Also, people who have HIV usually have more severe herpes outbreaks more frequently because their immune system is weaker.

Shivering and shortcoming

Deadness and shivering in the feet and hands are also a sigh of HIV, in its later stages. The symptom is called fringe neuropathy, and it can also happen to people with uncontrolled diabetes.

Dr.Malvestutto explains that at this point the nerves are quite harmed. This can be treated with the help of over-the-counter distress relievers and anti-seizure medications, like Neurontin (gabapentin) is.

Menstrual irregularities

HIV disease in its late stages increases the risk of menstrual irregularities, like fewer and lighter periods.

There’s a link between the HIV infection and the earlier menopause (47 to 48 years for infected women and 49 to 51 years for uninfected women).

That is a proverb. The ending part is:

One day, you'll find what you're looking for

Lol.. you guys still believe this myth?

A tight Friend of mine tested positive last ten years. He went to two different hospitals and the result was same.. he was immediately
placed on meds and this my guy was religiously taking this meds for up to a year. in fact, a week after knowing his status was sickness all through.. The aids symptoms where manifesting in a great manner.. Why hasn't it manifest since?

The mad has lots of side effects, not forgetting that he keep smelling drug drug wherever he go lol. He didn't even know.. I have to tell him.

A year after, he stopped the med. He was healthier when he hasn't discovered his status, immediately he was placed on drugs, all his systems were just unstable.

It's over 9 years now, and this dude is the most healthy looking guy you'll ever see. The marvelling part is, he fears drugs lol and he hardly fail sick.

If the virus exist at all, then it's not harmful. The major cause of death has always been fear.. It's fear that kills aids patients, not HIV.. Once they know their status, they start worrying about death, marriage, lots of things which indirectly depress their immune system.

Because of my friend, I did lots of research and I came to enlightenment. There are even renowned scientist who are yet to believe that shiittt .

Aids is not real.. That cocktail given to aids patients is what kills.

I drop my pen.

and who told u I neva do?


My Mama na Chief Director for FMC...wat does dat tells u

Having this symptom doesn't mean you've got the virus. The best option is to be sure by going for a test..
The test is free, and the earlier you detect it, the more you'll be able to curtail the effect of the virus..
If you haven't done the test, please do, early detection will go a long way to save you

Can HIV be gotten from sewing needles?

My only happiness is that Buhari has all these symptoms.

@Op mosquito fall on you

raphafire:
Can HIV be gotten from sewing needles?

No,

Only from chewing stick

Those symptoms are associated with other illnesses as well, so get tested, that's how you know your status.

raphafire:
Can HIV be gotten from sewing needles?

No, not possible just like it's hard to get it through unprotected sex. See question.

See the amount of people viewing this thread and few comments

And half of the asymptomatic people?
Once you start to see cold sores, nail changes and pneumonia, know that such a person is making the progression to AIDS
