What symptons can you get from HIVand AIDS?

Answer 1

10% to 40% of people don't have any initial symptom's. HIV rash is not itchy and comes in cluster of welts mostly in the trunk area. For the first week a person will experience chronic fatigue and maybe some flu like symptom's. Stomach ache is also very common within the first few weeks. After about 3 weeks to 6 weeks from being exposed a person will develop swollen lymph nodes. Muscle twitching will also occur after about a month because by then the virus is in the brain and is destroying the nervous system.

After about 2-3 months a persons immune system will have stabilised the virus to the point where there will be no obvious symptom's. Within 10 years the virus will slowly but surely eat away at the persons white blood cells which will result in the person having a very poor immune system. Then a person will get a common infection such as the common flu and they will not be able to fight it off and as a consequence they will die.

Answer 2

Some people experience signs and symptoms of HIV as soon as they become infected, while others do not. Initial signs and symptoms of HIV include:

fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin

Any symptoms from becoming infected typically resolve in one to four weeks.

As you can see, the signs and symptoms of HIV infection are similar to those for many different viral infections. The only way to know for sure if you are infected with HIV is to be tested. Many people infected with HIV do not have any signs and symptoms at all for many years.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that the following signs and symptoms may be warning signs of late-stage HIV infection:

rapid weight loss, dry cough, recurring fever or profuse night sweats, profound and unexplained fatigue, diarrhea lasting more than a week, pneumonia,

white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat and red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
